Censored Production Rules to General Rule Structure Converter

Abstract:- Standard rule structure of the form IF condition THEN action is a very simple structure and can be written easily by inexpert people. The standard rule structure is widely used in expert systems and various applications. One of the main problems of the standard structure is that it can’t represent real time systems where conclusions should be obtained within time limits. Censored Production Rule (CPR) is a rule that can handle real time applications in which given more time, we are more certain. The General Rule Structure (GRS) also serves real time application with ability to give more certain and specific answers given more time. GRS has also other advantages that makes it important to expedite the process of inference. The problem of GRS is its complexity in terms of structure and the need of an expert in a narrow domain to construct the relations between the rules. To avoid having an expert and still with the abilities of GRS, we propose a converter that converts a CPR into a GRS, we shall call this rules converter CR-GRCON. This will eliminate the need of having an expert to make GRS structure and any person can provide the rules to the system which will convert them to GRS structure.
