چکیده

The Halo Pilot, a six-month effort to evaluate the state-ofthe-art in applied Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) systems, collaboratively developed a taxonomy of failures with the goal of creating a common framework of metrics against which we could measure interand intrasystem failure characteristics of each of the three Halo knowledge applications. This platform independent taxonomy was designed with the intent of maximizing its coverage of potential failure types; providing the necessary granularity and precision to enable clear categorization of failure types; and providing a productive framework for short and longer term corrective action. Examining the failure analysis and initial empirical use of the taxonomy provides quantitative insights into the strengths and weaknesses of individual systems and raises some issues shared by all three. These results are particularly interesting when considered against the long history of assumed reasons for knowledge system failure. Our study has also uncovered some shortcomings in the taxonomy itself, implying the need to improve both its granularity and precision. It is the hope of Project Halo to eventually produce a failure taxonomy and associated methodology that will be of general use in the fine-grained analysis of knowledge systems.

Gyroscope Drift Error Analysis in the Position-Independent Navigation Algorithm of a stable platform Inertial System

This paper deals with analyzing gyroscope drift error in the position-independent navigation algorithm of a stable platform inertial system. Most of the stable platform navigation algorithms proposed in the literature have drawbacks of estimating position rates for alignment commands. Not only the estimating position rates are the basic source of position errors, but they also make the alignmen...
