Issues in Designing Rule-based Systems for Integrated Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of rule bases is plagued by various anomalies due to lack of structured development, and lack of a formal reference for the acquired knowledge. Often, the lack of a clear link connecting the functional requirements, the design, and the implementation levels of a rule-based system makes it difficult to analyze the rule base in terms of how well it represents the acquired knowledge. This also makes the existing verification and validation (V&V) tools to stand alone and to be isolated from development. Integration of V&V in a rule-based system design and development life cycle is being recommended by contemporary researchers for quality and reliability improvement. However, V&V processes for rule-based systems have been accepted to be non-trivial: methods that are general enough for comprehensive anomaly detection require impractical amounts of computation, and special methods (reduced computation for V&V) lack in their scope and applicability. In this work, we outline the use of a knowledge acquisition strategy called goal specification and its role as a link that connects the functional, design, and implementation stages of a system. We then identify various issues that affect integrating evaluation into development and how goal specification can facilitate handling these issues.

This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...

It is impractical to implement conservation efforts for all species due to complexity of natural systems, large scale of biodiversity issues, and budget limitations. Prioritizing species of conservation importance can alleviate this issue. Multiple interrelated criteria may be used for conservation prioritization of species. Therefore, the accurate evaluation of criteria is a multi-criteria dec...
