DELORES (DEfeasible LOgic REasoning System) is a forward-chaining reasoning engine for defeasible logic, a less-expressive but more efficient non-monotonic logic. In contrast with most other non-monotonic logics, defeasible logic has linear complexity, allowing DELORES to execute large theories very quickly. DELORES's algorithm extends to general defeasible theories through the use of a pre-processing transformation which eliminates all uses of defeaters and superiority relations.
