A Heuristic in Rules Based Systems for Searching of Inconsistencies

Abstract The aim of this work is to present heuristic algorithms in order to determine possible inconsistences of a knowledge base system (KBS). These algorithms will be based on the measure of an associated probability to the set of P complex formulations (set of single logic propositions) [J. L. Castro, J. M. Zurita, Information Sciences 74 (1993) 97–110]. Results will be assessed and further remarks concerning the valuation of the KBS will be considered.
