Abstract

In this paper, we propose the use of task-based specifications in conceptual graphs to construct and verify a conceptual model. Task-based specification methodology is used to serve as the mechanism to structure the knowledge captured in the conceptual model; whereas, conceptual graphs are adopted as the formalism to express task-based specifications. Verifying a conceptual model is performed on model specifications of a task through constraints satisfaction and relaxation techniques, and on process specifications of the task based on the resolution algorithm and the notion of specificity.
