T.D. Escamilla, Dick B. Simmons, Newton C. Ellis · [1990] Proceedings of the 2nd International IEEE Conference on Tools for Artificial Intelligence · 2002
The uncertainty management schemes (UMSs) found in commercial expert system building tools (ESBTs) are analyzed. Important issues characterizing UMSs are considered, and UMS approaches in general are surveyed. Specific criteria which categorize the UMSs of ESBTs are presented, and uncertainty schemes in several popular ESBTs are described. The acquisition of certainty values is also discussed. Possible enhancements to UMSs in ESBTs are suggested.>
