  ABSTRACT={Nonmonotonic logics are meant to be a formalization of nonmonotonic
     reasoning. However, for the most part they fail to embody two of the most important
     aspects of such reasoning: the explicit computational nature of nonmonotonic
     inference, and the assignment of preferences among competing inferences. We
     propose a method of nonmonotonic reasoning in which the notion of inference
     from specific bodies of evidence plays a fundamental role. The formalization
     is based on autoepistemic logic, but introduces additional structure, a hierarchy
     of evidential spaces. The method offers a natural formalization of many different
     applications of nonmonotonic reasoning, including reasoning about action, speech
     acts, belief revision, and various situations involving competing defaults.},
