  • Abstract
    We propose a mapping from a contract representation in event calculus to default logic. The resulting representation allows for defeasible reasoning with e-contracts, which is useful in order to determine the normative state of a business exchange in the presence of incomplete or inaccurate knowledge. More importantly, we may use this representation in default logic coupled with priorities, in order to manage normative conflicts dynamically.
