Abstract: The main premise of this paper is that certain kinds of non-monotonic reasoning can be solved within first order logic in a simple monotonic way by formulating problems in a suitable environment. Any problem is formalized as a set of contexts, where a context is a (first order) formalization of a piece of the problem. Reasoning comes out as a result of deduction in different contexts. The claim is that proofs built in this way are clearer and better resemble the kind of explanation that... (Update)

...show both the proposed framework and the GETFOL implementation. 1 Introduction Recent work in artificial intelligence [GW88, Giu91, McC90, McC91, Sho91] advocates for the use of multiple formal systems (called contexts) both in knowledge representation and in problem solving....

.... knowledge should be structured into sets of facts or theories (often called contexts ) some of the many examples are [11, 21, 10, 45, 7, 32, 29, 48, 5]. In [10, 13] the authors take a further step and introduce a new general kind of formal systems allowing multiple distinct...
