The monograph opens with an introduction and a chapter onterminology, followed by chapters on:- Semantic clash resolution as decision procedure,- Completeness of ordering refinements,- Semantic tree based resolution variants,- Deciding the class K by an ordering refinement,- A resolution based method for building finite models.
