Abstract
This collection is devoted to the analysis and application of abductive and inductive reasoning in a common context, studying their relation and possible ways for integration. There are several reasons for doing so. One reason is practical, and based on the expectation that abduction and induction are sufficiently similar to allow for a tight integration in practical systems, yet sufficiently complementary for this integration to be useful and productive.
