Abstract
A first set of subconditions is obtained. Approximate matching of the first set of subconditions against a plurality of sets of subconditions is performed. A second set of subconditions among the plurality of sets of subconditions is accessed, wherein a representation of a subcondition in the first set and/or the second set of subconditions comprises a value having one of a plurality of states, and wherein the plurality of states comprises a state of 'don't care'. The first set of subconditions is approximately matched against the second set of subconditions. The first set of subconditions is compared against the second set of subconditions. A matching criterion is determined to be met based on a result of the matching. Information indicating that the second set of subconditions is at least an approximate match for the first set of subconditions is output.
