Belief Maintenance: an I Tapnty Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Belief maintenance represents a unified approach to assumption-based and numerical uncertainty management. A formal equivalence is demonstrated between Shafer-Dempster belief theory and assumption-based truth maintenance extended to incorporate a probability calculus on assumptions. Belief propagation through truth maintenance automatically and correctly accounts for non-independencies among propositions due to shared antecedents. Belief maintenance also incorporates an ability to represent and reason with defaults. The result is a framework for non-monotonic reasoning about the application of a quantitative uncertainty calculus.

Maintenance management decision model for preventive maintenance strategy on production equipment
In industries, Preventive Maintenance (PM) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. PM will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). However, most of PM interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommendations. Consequently, the benefits from PM are not...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Norm of Belief’s Proper Formulation
That falsity is a defect in belief can be captured with a prohibitive norm holding that truth is the necessary condition for permissibility of belief. Furthermore, such a formulation avoids the difficulties encountered in earlier literature that offered prescriptive norms. The normativity of belief thesis is widely discussed in the literature. I criticise bi-conditional formulation of the norm ...

The reconfigurable vibrating screen (RVS) machine is an innovative beneficiation machine designed for screening different mineral particles of varying sizes and volumes required by the customers’ through the geometric transformation of its screen structure. The successful RVS machine upkeep requires its continuous, availability, reliability and maintainability. The RVS machine downtime, which c...
متن کاملAn application of artificial neural network to maintenance management
This study shows the usefulness of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in maintenance planning and man-agement. An ANN model based on the multi-layer perceptron having three hidden layers and four processing elements per layer was built to predict the expected downtime resulting from a breakdown or a maintenance activity. The model achieved an accuracy of over 70% in predicting the expected downtime.
متن کاملOn The Properties of Belief Tracking for Online Contingent Planning using Regression
Planning under partial observability typically requires some representation of the agent’s belief state – either online to determine which actions are valid, or offline for planning. Due to its potential exponential size, efficient maintenance of a belief state is, thus, a key research challenge in this area. The state-of-the-art factored belief tracking (FBT) method addresses this problem by m...
