β¦ Synopsis
Molodtsov initiated the concept of soft set theory, which can be used as a generic mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Description Logics (DLs) are a family of knowledge representation languages which can be used to represent the terminological knowledge of an application domain in a structured and formally well-understood way. The current research progress and the existing problems of soft set theory are analyzed. In this paper we extend soft sets with DLs, i.e., present an extended soft set theory by using the concepts of DLs to act as the parameters of soft sets. We define some operations for the extended soft sets. Moreover, we prove that certain De Morgan's laws hold in the extended soft set theory with respect to these operations.

Possibilistic logic provides a convenient tool for dealing with uncertainty and handling inconsistency. In this paper, we propose possibilistic description logics as an extension of description logics, which are a family of well-known ontology languages. We first give the syntax and semantics of pos
In this paper, we address the issue of how Gelfond and Lifschitz's answer set semantics for extended logic programs can be suitably modified to handle prioritized programs. In such programs an ordering on the program rules is used to express preferences. We show how this ordering can be used to defi
We present Regular-SAT, an extension of Boolean Satisfiability based on a class of many-valued CNF formulas. Regular-SAT shares many properties with Boolean SAT, which allows us to generalize some of the best known SAT results and apply them to Regular-SAT. In addition, Regular-SAT has a number of a
