Abstract

See full text

An original set of rules are transformed into a resulting set of generalized rules in a rule management system. An original set of rules stored in a data structure for transforming into a resulting set of rules are accessed. The original set of rules is automatically processed by building a compact description of one or more rules in the original set of rules and their actions in the form of logical constraints and solving constraints to find a solution that represents a case and an applied action, building a family of cases by taking all logical tests or their negation that are satisfied by the solution, and generalizing the family of cases by removal of specific logical tests which do not apply to the action, resulting in a most-general rule.
