Towards a general-purpose belief maintenance system
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of probabilistic reasoning as it applies to Truth Maintenance Systems. A Belief Maintenance System hal! been constructed which manages a current set of probabilistic beliefs in much the same way that a TMS manages a set of true/false beliefs. Such a system may be thought of as a generalization of a. Truth Maintenance System. It enables one to reason using normal two or three-valued logic or using probabilistic values to represent partial belief. The design of the Belief Maintenance System is described and some problems are discussed which require further research. Finally, some examples are presented which show the utility of such a system.

Distributed Belief Revision
The ability to respond sensibly to changing and conflicting beliefs is an integral part of intelligent agency. To this end, we outline the design and implementation of a Distributed Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System (DATMS) appropriate for controlling cooperative problem solving in a dynamic real world multi-agent community. Our DATMS works on the principle of local coherence which mean...

متن کاملStructure-Driven Algorithms for Truth Maintenance
This paper studies truth-maintenance and belief revision tasks on singly-connected structures for the purpose of understanding how structural features could be exploited in such tasks. We present distributed algorithms and show that, in the JTMS framework, both belief revision and consistency maintenance are linear in the size of the knowledgebase on singly connected structures. However, the AT...
