Introduction

Hi and welcome at Default Reasoning blog! This blog is a personal blog maintained by Marek Zdrojewski. The name of the blog, default reasoning, doesn’t actually mean anything. It is just a name I have found in a technical dictionary somewhere on the web, although default reasoning is a form of non-monotonic logic. The main reason to start this blog was the idea to document things I have done during the projects, mostly at customers site, and to keep it as a reference for the future.
