The KR research group at DAI, chaired by Ján Šefránek, is concerned with (mostly theoretical) research in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning(KR&R).
Group Focus
Our main interests within KR&R include:
- Non-monotonic logics and non-monotonic reasoning
- Knowledge revision
- Answer set programming
- Dynamic logic programming
- Semantic Web
- Ontologies
Group Members
- Ján Šefránek (group chair)
- Martin Baláž
- Martin Homola
- Michal Malý
- Peter Klimo
- Jozef Šiška
Activities
KR Group orgainizes irregular sessions of the KR Seminar where the group members and sometimes invited speakes present latest advances in their research.
Projects
- Surveying and improving semantic properties of distributed onotlogies. Project no. UK/365/2008 awarded by Comenius University. Narowly focused project aming at comparing differnt existing formalisms for representing distributed ontologies.
