Abstract

Rule-based systems constitute the most popular tool for specification of operational knowledge in majority of knowledge-based systems. This paper addresses the issue of analysis and verification of selected properties of such systems in a systematic way. A uniform, tabular form of single-level rule-based systems is put forward. Such systems can be used independently as a generalized form of decision tables, or as the lower-level components of a hierarchical, multi-level knowledge-based system. An algebraic knowledge representation form is proposed and algebraic bases for rules verification are outlined.
