static verification and software testing are not able to verify software single-handedly. therefore, another approach called run-time verification dealing with verifying software behavior against constraints at run-time received attention. however, the run-time verification faces the problem of verification of run-time activities against the constraints are specified in high-level and abstractl...

In this paper we will investigate which fuzzy/linguistic rules are redundant in systems of such rules called linguistic descriptions. We present a formal definition of redundancy and show that rules which are seemingly redundant can be in fact indispensable. These results apply for IF-THEN rules which use evaluative linguistic expressions (e.g., small, very big, etc.) and inference method calle...
