Abstract

In Chap. 5, an Argumentation-enabled Web-based IDSS (Web@IDSS) was proposed to help decision makers consider the structured information, which exists within the enterprise and/or in other enterprises, to represent, reason over it, resolve conflicts between this information and the existing enterprise information using the Generalize specificity-based conflict resolution strategy and integrate this to assist in the decision-making process.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An introduction to process ontology is given in the next sub-section.

  2. 2.

    In Sect. 5.3.1, several important definitions were introduced to help the reader understand the design and working of the argumentative production system.

  3. 3.

    The claim of a business rule is represented by a grey, rectangular-shaped box.
