How to Determine the Necessary Knowledge in the Conflicting Situation?
Akinori Abe, Yuki Hayashi · 2018
Innovators Marketplace on Data Jackets (IMDJ) is called as Innovation Game. The Innovation Game seems a game where a new production will be obtained during the combination of various techniques, materials and previous products. During conducting the IMDJ participants generate hypotheses to explain the shown requirements. Usually they refer to the existing techniques or consult with the network to obtain the necessary techniques. In the IMDJ situation, to refer to the existing techniques will not so difficult. Because the system will provide a very sufficient data base. In fact it is rather difficult to determine which techniques will be necessary to the requirements. Because the IMDJ data base is not fully opened to the public. In the case, participants should guess or estimate inside the data base. Previously, I discussed how to generate missing knowledge. By the proposal method it is possible to generate missing knowledge. In fact this is a critical issue in the perfomance in IMDJ. However more serious problem will exist. Sometimes it is necessary to consider inconsistent (conflicting) requirements. In the situation, it is necessary to satisfy both requirments as possible as we can. In this paper, I will discuss the hypotheses generation in such an inconsistent situation. For the situation, previously I introduced paraconsistent logic to deal with contradictory situations.
