Abstract

Qualitative reasoning deals with information expressed in terms of qualitative classes and relations among them, such as comparability, negligibility or closeness. In this paper, we focus on the notion of closeness using a hybrid approach which is based on logic, order-of-magnitude reasoning, and on the so-called proximity structures; these structures will be used to decide the elements that are close to each other. Some of the intuitions of this approach are explained on the basis of examples. Moreover, we show some capabilities of the logic with respect to expressivity in order to denote particular positions of the proximity intervals.
