Title: Revisiting Computational Fragments of Logic and Meta-Reasoning: the DESIRE framework

Abstract.

I will discuss how bi-modular logics of a simple kind can be used to perform abstract meta-level forms of reasoning.

I don’t know if I can get the old DESIRE system running again for you, but I will give it a try. Otherwise I will explain the concept to you in detail. Showing how you can use meta-level reasoning for Diagnostic Reasoning and for reasoning about the Closed World Assumption in a different way. I will reflect on this to show how this reasoning could help in modern day I to have systems realise what it is that they don’t know about.
