Abstract
Knowledge Based Systems (KBSs) are expected to maintain and reason with complete information. They also are expected to have a highly interactive and helpful interface. In this paper we make a first step towards a KBS that could meet such requirements. We present a Logic for Maintaining and Reasoning with incomplete information (thereafter LMR). Some of the advantages of LMR are that: (1) The semantic analysis is made in terms of possible situations, and (2) it supports constructive and informative user-system interaction.
