Conflicts resolution strategies

At this point it is possible for the rules Osize and Householder to fire. We assume that rule interpreter s conflict resolution strategy causes the Householder rule to fire first. Householder s antecedent is matched by fact 4a and properties 4c and 4d. The second consequent of this rule states the property of some matrix Q. It is important to note that Q is not computed by the operation nor is it passed as output. 

When all of the antecedents in a rule test true, the rule is said to be triggered. If an action is performed (i.e., a conclusion is added to the secondary knowledge base), the rule is said to be fired. Several rules may be triggered at once, requiring conflict resolution strategies to determine which of them should be fired (25).

This partial order over the operation clusters provides the basis for a conflict resolution strategy based on decomposition. Specifically, the problem of finding a valid ordering for an instance operation set is divided into two steps ...

Mental health should not be viewed strictly as a direct service rather interventions should seek to influence school climate and address schoolwide challenges. For instance, providing school staff with assistance on child and adolescent development issues, conflict resolution strategies, classroom behavior management, and promotion of self-discipline should be on the agenda. 

In this example this combination is straightforward. One has to be aware, however, that a medium-sized expert system easily contains several hundreds of rules. In addition, several rules can be valid at the same time. The inference engine should also have a strategy for deciding on priorities conflict resolution). 

It is already clear from this small example that aspects such as conflict resolution can have an important influence on the performance of the search strategy. 

Consensus is frequently referred to as the preferred dedsion-maldng strategy for teams. Shared definitions of consensus and clear procedures to put this mode of decision making in place are needed. Consensus is defined by Scholtes (1988) as a process of finding a proposal that is acceptable enough that aU members can support it and no member opposes to it. Consensus requires time and active participation from team members (Carr and Littman 1993). It demands mutual respect (listening), open-mindedness, and effort at conflict resolution.
