Abstract

Inference management to estimate conflicting strategies for automatic presentation of a reliable strategy. Where a conflict is generated, the inferring are executed in parallel using replicated knowledge objects Hypothetical situation control includes a hypothetical situation relational table for describing the relationships between the strategies and hypothetical situations, an estimated contents decision program for fetching a hypothetical situation that is not usually generated when strategies are adopted from the hypothetical situation relational table to establish such hypothetical situation by interacting with the user, an estimated contents recording table for recording in a group the inferring results, estimated strategies, hypothetical situations and current situation data before the estimate with an estimate case number, and a hypothetical situation control program for controlling the inferring for the inferring results, for fetching hypothetical situations corresponding to a strategy to be estimated and for executing an estimate of its result.
