| | A Multi-valued Epistemic Logic for Web-based Information Retrieval |
 | | This research formulates a multi-valued epistemic logic (MEL) which combines the features of both multi-valued logic and epistemic logic, allowing the various notions of self-belief, meta-belief, degree of belief and degree of meta-belief to be represented. |
 | | This research considers a unifying logic that subsumes the semantics of various existing epistemic logics such asthe logic of implicit and explicit belief, the logic of awareness, the Cadoli-Schaerf epistemic model, Non-standard epistemic logic, the logic of local reasoning,Epistemic structures, the logic of implicit and explicit propositions and Fusion epistemic models. |
 | | In outline, this thesis presents a logic that not only has a sound and complete axiomatization and is decidable, but also (i) has a unifying semantics for representing belief, (ii) provides a means to represent degree of belief and (iii) adopts both the deductive-theoretic and the model-theoretic approach for characterizing belief. |
