This proceedings volume contains a selection of revised andextended papers presented at the Second InternationalWorkshop on Nonmonotonic and InductiveLogic, NIL '91, whichtook place at Reinhardsbrunn Castle, December 2-6, 1991.The volume opens with an extended version of a tutorial onnonmonotonic logic by G. Brewka, J. Dix, and K. Konolige.Fifteen selected papers follow, on a variety of topics. Themajority of papers belong either to the area of nonmonotonicreasoning or to the field of inductive inference, butsome papers integrate research from both areas.The first workshop in this series was held at the Universityof Karlsruhe in December 1990 and its proceedings werepublished as Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Volume543. The series of workshops was made possible by financialsupport from Volkswagen Stiftung, Hannover. This workshopwas also supported by IBM Deutschland GmbH and Siemens AG.

Klappentext
This proceedings volume contains a selection of revised and
extended papers presented at the Second International
Workshop on Nonmonotonic and InductiveLogic, NIL '91, which
took place at Reinhardsbrunn Castle, December 2-6, 1991.
The volume opens with an extended version of a tutorial on
nonmonotonic logic by G. Brewka, J. Dix, and K. Konolige.
Fifteen selected papers follow, on a variety of topics. The
majority of papers belong either to the area of nonmonotonic
reasoning or to the field of inductive inference, but
some papers integrate research from both areas.
The first workshop in this series was held at the University
of Karlsruhe in December 1990 and its proceedings were
published as Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Volume
543. The series of workshops was made possible by financial
support from Volkswagen Stiftung, Hannover. This workshop
was also supported by IBM Deutschland GmbH and Siemens AG.
