Abstract

A rule based system is a 'black box' model in the form of a single large rule base which does not take into account any interconnections in a complex process. As opposed to this, a rule based network is a 'white box' model in the form of multiple smaller rule bases which takes into account all interconnections. This paper introduces briefly the foundations of rule based networks including formal models, basic operations, structural properties and advanced operations. It also highlights feedforward and feedback rule based networks. Finally, a comparative evaluation of rule based networks in relation to rule based systems is presented.
