What is Procedural Debugging

Chapter 13
Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages and Technologies: Open Solutions and Approaches
A procedural debugger offers a way to indicate a rule/rule part where the program execution has to stop and has to wait for commands from the user. The user can then examine the current state of the inference engine and give commands to execute a number of the successive instructions. In rule bases procedural debuggers are based on the execution of the inference engine.

Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the issues affecting and the tools used for the debugging of rule bases. It describes the challenges in debugging rules, presents a classification of the debugging methods developed in academia and the tools currently used in practice. This chapter explains the main debugging paradigms for rule based systems: Procedural Debugging, Explanations, Why-Not Explanations, Algorithmic Debugging, Explorative Debugging, Automatic Theory Revision and Automatic Knowledge Refinement.
