A Constructivist Approach to Rule Bases

Giovanni Sileno, Alexander Boer, Tom van Engers

2015

Abstract

The paper presents a set of algorithms for the conversion of rule bases between priority-based and constraint-based representations. Inspired by research in precedential reasoning in law, such algorithms can be used for the analysis of a rule base, and for the study of the impact of the introduction of new rules. In addition, the paper explores an optimization mechanism, built upon assumptions about the world in which the rule-based system operates, providing a model of environmental adaptation. The investigation is relevant to practical reasoning, agent modeling and agent programming.
