Knowledge about properties of the constraints can permit inferences that reduce the cost of consistency checking.
In addition, reusable consistency checking rules verify the consistency between decisions and designs.
Our implementation leverages the infrastructure in the Ptolemy II type system to get efficient and scalable inference and consistency checking.
It uses ontology's open world semantics to support design collaboration with flexible and accurate design combination, refinement, and consistency checking.
We employ a cross-disciplinary modeling technique to capture this information together with consistency checking including simulation to accomplish such a challenging task.
Local-based consistency checking.
Fig. 8 Limits of the variable consistency checking.
This example demonstrates the work of the variable consistency checking algorithm.
As stated, we do not consider this approach to be sufficient for consistency checking.
The variable consistency checking algorithm works with classes of resources to which variables can be bound.
But if we abandon the simplifying assumption that everyday reasoning is based on classical propositional logic, then validity and consistency checking only become harder.
