Reasoning with Multiple Points of View: A Case Study

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6279))

Abstract

This article presents our approach to reasoning with diversified and voluminous knowledge sources that can eventually be, contradictory. In fact, knowledge sources coming from management sciences are inherently rich and, sometimes, conflicting. We choose to exploit the entire range of this diversity to improve business advice to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The authors would like to thank Mr. Henri-Pierre Michaud from AEM Conseil for his support and funding.
