Using the Dempster-Shafer Scheme in a Diagnostic Expert System Shell
This paper discusses an expert system shell that integrates rule-based
reasoning and the Dempster-Shafer evidence combination scheme. Domain knowledge
is stored as rules with associated belief functions. The reasoning component
uses a combination of forward and backward inferencing mechanisms to allow
interaction with users in a mixed-initiative format.Comment: Appears in Proceedings of the Third Conference on Uncertainty in
