It deals with the addition, deletion and combination of  pieces of information and, more generally, with the revision, updating  and fusion of knowledge bases. The book offers an extensive coverage  of, and seeks to reconcile, two traditions in the kinematics of belief  that often ignore each other - the symbolic and the numerical  (often probabilistic) approaches. Moreover, the work encompasses both  revision and fusion problems, even though these two are also commonly  investigated by different communities. Finally, the book presents the  numerical view of belief change, beyond the probabilistic framework,  covering such approaches as possibility theory, belief functions and  convex gambles. \u003cbr\u003e  The work thus presents a unified view of belief change operators,  drawing from a widely scattered literature embracing philosophical  logic, artificial intelligence, uncertainty modelling and database  systems. The material is a clearly organised guide to the literature  on the dynamics of epistemic states, knowledge bases and uncertain  information, suitable for scholars and graduate students familiar with  applied logic, knowledge representation and uncertain reasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351627\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5054-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 453\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578496966796,"sku":"9780792351627","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351627.jpg?v=1771518736","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792351627","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
