Applying epistemic logic and evidential theory to strategic arguments
结合认知逻辑与证据理论,将一阶逻辑应用于组织理论,为战略政策陈述的证据表示与评估提供更形式化的方法。
This paper extends work originally reported in a previous SMJ article on strategic policy issues. To accomplish this extension, we draw on research from separate but related areas. Concepts from the application of first-order logic to organizational theory and formal methods from research in knowledge representation are combined using epistemic logic and evidential theory. It is shown that the original formulation of the policy evaluation problem fits neatly into this framework. This allows application of more formal and powerful methods for representing and evaluating the evidence offered in support of strategic policy statements. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
