This research project is about advancing the reasoning with conflicting knowledge, both in the strong sense of inconsistency, and in weaker varieties that involve conceptual clashes, empty concepts, or over-commitments. It focuses on bringing together three
recent strands of research, namely 1) methods to weight information, 2) methods to weaken axioms, and 3) methods to negotiate or play games with information.</span></span></div>

logic focuses on the idea that different pieces of information have different value, or weight, reflecting a very natural idea from common sense reasoning. Axiom weakening allows for a fine-grained repair of inconsistent knowledge bases. Its main advantage
is that it repairs them by making axioms less restrictive rather than by deleting them.</span></span></div>

In general, applicants for this project are expected to have some good acquaintance with classical logic and its syntax and semantics. More advanced knowledge of proof methods, meta-theory, and non-classical logic will be a plus. The ideal candidate will already
have some background in agents or game theory as well as KR languages such as description logics. Programming skills: experience with programming would be valuable, particularly for the purpose of carrying out evaluation studies and improving research prototypes.</span></span></div>
