....of fuzzy logic, probabilistic reasoning and neuro computing ( 38] and in this paper we consider only the first two partners. Fuzzy logic and probabilistic logic have been applied to extend both logic programs (e.g. 15] 24] 29] 32] 28] and object oriented models (e.g. 7] 33] [36], 14] to deal with vagueness and uncertainty often encountered in practical problems. However, research on combining all together logic programming, object oriented programming and soft computing appears to be sporadic. The benefit of such a combination is not only that the advantages of the ....
....can be exploited, but also that one discipline sheds light on existing problems resulting from combining the other two. In particular, there has been much research on extending the conventional object oriented model to the fuzzy object oriented model, e.g. 19] 23] 7] 12] 33] cf. 17] [36] (cf. 35] and [14] but two main problems, namely, multiple inheritance and uncertain inheritance, still remain unresolved. With multiple inheritance, an object or a class can inherit properties, i.e. attributes and methods, from two or more of its super classes (cf. 6] In the conventional ....

....object oriented programming has provided advantageous methodologies and techniques. This is why extension of the classical object oriented model with uncertainty, which is another essential aspect of knowledge, has been the quest and focus of significant research effort, e.g. 9] 10] 5] 13] [15], 4] and [8] Meanwhile, logic programming has also been an important tool for knowledge base building, which provides a declarative way for problem specification, well founded semantics for formal reasoning, and non deterministic mechanism for solution searching. However, research on combining ....
