Abstract

In decision support systems at least two difficulties are encountered if conclusions are to be derived based on arbitrary knowledge sources. One difficulty concerns the quality and structure of the knowledge. Knowledge can be contradictory and its truth value can change over time; the representational structure of knowledge is important for the ability to access specific items of information and to derive implicit knowledge. Another difficulty concerns the design of a knowledge processing formalism; for practical reasons, this should allow fast execution, but predictable behaviour is also important.
