ResearchIndex: Structure-preserving specification languages for knowledge-based systems
Much work on validation and verification of knowledge based systems (KBSs) has been done in implementation languages, mostly rule based. Recent papers suggest it is useful to do validation and verification in a more abstract and formal specification of th
