The author has suggested earlier that the various nonmonotonic reasoning formalisms are converging towards probability. Here, he discusses the idea of randomness: using a definition by Kyburg as a benchmark, he describes how it appears in various nonmonotonic reasoning formalisms, in particular, circumscription. It is argued that behind the complexity of circumscription lie the simple notions of random sampling and statistically founded beliefs. The latter is implemented through a device known as the abnormality predicate which appears in various guises in the nonmonotonic reasoning literature. Another view of this study is that randomness provides a universal conjecture for nonmonotonic theories. Default theories can be interpreted as jumping to the conclusion that an entity is a random member of a certain class.<>

A digit-serial, multiple-valued associative memory VLSI for high-speed information search is presented. Input and output data of a processing element (PE) in the VLSI are directly encoded by appropriate multiple-valued digits, respectively, so that search operations are efficiently described by the combination of a multiple-valued down literals and pass gates. Moreover, multiple-valued memory information is stored in each PE by programming the threshold of the down literal which can be easily implemented using special MOS transistors, called floating-gate MOS transistors. It is demonstrated that the number of interconnections and transistors in the 5-valued associative memory can be reduced to 25% and 53%, respectively, in comparison with the corresponding binary implementation.<>

A bidirectional current-mode multiple-valued logic (MVL) latch circuit realized in a standard 2- mu m polysilicon gate CMOS process is presented. The circuit accepts and quantizes a bidirectional input current during the setup clock phase and latches the quantized input during the hold clock phase. Characteristics of fully integrated prototypes realized on a CMOS test chip are presented. Using logical current increments of only 10 mu A, the bidirectional current-mode MVL latch's setup and hold time has been determined to total approximately 44 ns. The input/output propagation delay for transitions between adjacent states has been determined to be approximately 50 ns at these low current levels.<>

A framework for axiomatizing arbitrary finitely valued logics with minimal overhead compared to the classical case is presented. The main idea is to work with tableaux using generalized signs, which makes it possible to express complex assertions regarding the possible truth values of a formula. The class of regular logical connectives which, together with a suitable restriction on queries (i.e. allowed signs) to the system, allow a uniform notation style representation of multiple-valued propositional and first-order logics is introduced. It has been demonstrated that various systems differing in their allowed classes of connectives and complexity, of rules may be formulated. This allows the use of tools and methods that are close to the ones used in classical logic, both on the theoretical (uniform notation in definitions and proofs) and practical (use of classical theorem provers with few modifications) sides.<>
