Assignment refers to the problem of assigning objects or alternatives described on multiple dimensions into predefined categories.Most assignment models use analytical mechanisms to aggregate multiple dimensions in order to select a category for each candidate object. We investigate another approach based on the use of simple “if…then…” rules.We propose a general approach for a progressive construction of a rule-based assignment model. The process consists of testing iteratively the consistency of the rule base to transform it progressively into a consistent assignment model. Consistency tests are based on a correspondence between the logical representation of rules and an equivalent algebraic representation. This allows us to express rules by linear constraints and then to test the consistency of rule-based assignment models by solving a series of linear programs.Subjects / Keywords
