Abstract

The notion of inventive belief revision, as opposition to the notion of trade-off belief revision, is introduced. A heuristic rule of identifying the beliefs to be revised, is proposed. It is shown that some well known inventions might be arrived at with the help of this rule, which means that the rule can be used as a powerful tool in computer aided inventive design.
