| Abstract | This research deals with reasoning in presence of
uncertainty. For pedagogical purpose a world consisting of
simple geometric shaped objects is chosen and shown how, the
commonsense knowledge used by people , in dealing with the
block s in this world, can be incorporated in a system to help
decision making; even though the knowledge can be incomplete
and sometimes uncertain.
Th e work takes a set of heuristics used by people, shows
the way to formulate them in the light of possibilistic
approach and finally combine them to reason about the state of
the system for example , stability of blocks .
Underlying basis is that human beings are able to reason
conclusions in presence of uncertainty. If such
be incorporated in decision support systems
robotics ; it can make present day machines
and draw useful
capability can
expert systems or
more intelligent.
System is implemented using LISP. |
