Abstract: Marco Cadoli (5.12.1965 – 21.11.2006) was a well-known Italian Computer Scientist. This paper reviews his fundamental work in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning and also gives a very brief personal (and thus rather incomplete) account of his academic career and of his fruitful cooperation and interaction with the AI Group at TU Wien.

Keywords: Approximate reasoning, circumscription, computational complexity, knowledge compilation, nonmonotonic reasoning, problem solving, succinct representation
