A Rule-Based Object/Task Modelling Approach

Summary: Rule-based object/task modeling combines object-oriented logic programming with network-oriented formalisms to specify object behaviors and task meta-rules. It adds associations, virtual objects, multi-level integrity, net expressions, and explicit control knowledge, enabling hybrid forward/backward chaining for generalized data/action management on System G.
