Towards Inconsistency Measurement in Business Rule Bases
This work addresses inconsistency measurement for business rule bases, which is an incremental advancement in applying formal methods to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the problem of analyzing inconsistency in business rule bases by developing new rationality postulates and adapting existing inconsistency measures, resulting in a comprehensive feasibility study for this domain-specific application.
We investigate the application of inconsistency measures to the problem of analysing business rule bases. Due to some intricacies of the domain of business rule bases, a straightforward application is not feasible. We therefore develop some new rationality postulates for this setting as well as adapt and modify existing inconsistency measures. We further adapt the notion of inconsistency values (or culpability measures) for this setting and give a comprehensive feasibility study.
