Abstract: This document addresses some problems raised by the well-known intractability of deductive reasoning in even moderately expressive knowledge representation systems. Starting from boolean constraint propagation (BCP), a previously known linear-time incomplete reasoner for clausal propositional theories, we develop fact propagation (FP) to deal with non-clausal theories, after motivating the need for such an extension. FP is specified using a confluent rewriting systems, for which we present an... (Update)

...literals. Cadoli and Schaerf [SC95] obtained several reasoners by parameterizing j= RP by sets of propositions. However, we have shown [Dal95] that none of their incomplete reasoners is stronger than j . In a related work [Dal96] we have extended j to an anytime family 0...
