Reasoning About Control: The Investigation of an Evidential Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The complexity of the domains in which expert systems are expected to operate requires that they be capable of "reasoning* 1 about their actions It has been argued that expert systems must reason from evidential information i.e., uncertain, incomplete, and occasionally inaccurate information [LOW82a|. As a consequence, a model for reasoning about control must deal with several problems being able to organize "control-related" evidential information that is generically distinct and from disparate sources, to overcome minor errors in the evidential information needed to reach a decision, and to explain the actions taken by the system These are a few of some formidable control issues and problems that remain largely unsolved [BAR82] Thus, we report on an investigation into how these issues and problems can be addressed when the problem of reasoning about system control is viewed as an evidential process.

Comprehensive Decision Modeling of Reverse Logistics System: A Multi-criteria Decision Making Model by using Hybrid Evidential Reasoning Approach and TOPSIS (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...

Sense-making software for crime investigation should be based on a model of reasoning about evidence that is both natural and rationally well-founded. A formal model is proposed that combines AI formalisms for abductive inference to the best explanation and for defeasible argumentation. Stories about what might have happened in a case are represented as causal networks and possible hypotheses c...

متن کاملA Circumscriptive Theory for Causal and Evidential Support
Reasoning about causality is an interesting application area of formal nonmonotonic theories. Here we focus our attention on a certain aspect of causal reasoning, namely causaZ asymmetry. In order to provide a qualitative account of causal asymmetry, we present a justification-based approach that uses circurnscription to obtain the minimality of causes. We define the notion of causal and eviden...
