Making inconsistency respectable in software development
The development of software systems inevitably involves the detection and handling of inconsistencies. These inconsistencies can arise in system requirements, design specifications and, quite often, in the descriptions that form the final implemented software product. A large proportion of software engineering research has been devoted to consistency maintenance, or geared towards eradicating i...
متن کاملDEBATE causal description: moving beyond stamp collecting in political science
The articles by Kees van Kersbergen and Daniele Caramani constitute an impressive joint plea in favour of descriptive analyses within comparative politics. They also warn, less convincingly, against an alleged obsession of the discipline with variation that, according to them, does not do justice to the similarity of many cases. This response demonstrates that limiting the analysis to similar c...
متن کاملForest History of Ohio. I, Radiocarbon Dates and Pollen Stratigraphy of Silver Lake, Logan County, Ohio
Radiocarbon and pollen analysis of a sediment core (8.9 m) from Silver Lake in central Ohio indicates that deposition began in late Woodfordian time (11,000-14,000 radiocarbon years ago) and has been continuous to the present. The pollen sequence includes a basal spruce-fir pollen zone, changing abruptly to oak-elm immediately above a radiocarbon date of 9800 ±210 (OWU-39). A total of 19 radioc...
متن کاملMaking inconsistency respectable: a logical framework for inconsistency in reasoning
We claim there is a fundamental diierence between the way humans handle inconsistency and the way it is currently handled in formal logical systems: To a human, resolving inconsistencies is not necessarily done by \restoring" consistency but by supplying rules telling one how to act when the inconsistency arises. For artiicial intelligence there is an urgent need to revise the view that inconsi...
