A system for integrating multiple related knowledge base files into a single file keeping all of the parameters and constraints of the multiple files operates by identifying two or more common parameters among the files, and merging the two or more parameter statements into a single statement in the integrated file, the single statement listing all of the values of the several statements in the multiple files. Additional constraints are added to the new, smaller file to properly relate the values to a characteristic of the original files. The resulting single file is also optimized by combining value and activity constraints into single constraint statements. The resulting smaller file is more efficient for transfer and use in knowledge base systems of many sorts.
