Dealing with Multi-Source Information in Possibilistic Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, both the uncertainty and the origin of pieces of information is handled in an extended possibilistic logic framework. Each formula is associated with a set (a fuzzy set more generally) which gathers labels of sources according to which the formula is (more or less) certainly true. In case of a single source of information, possibilistic logic is recovered. Soundness and completeness results of possibilistic logic are extended. Besides, the combination of the information provided by different sources (fusion), taking possibly into account the relative reliability of the sources, is discussed.

A possibilistic handling of partially ordered information
In standard possibilistic logic, prioritized in formation are encoded by means of weighted knowledge bases. This paper proposes an exten sion of possibilistic logic to deal with partially ordered information which can be viewed as a family of possibilistic knowledge bases. We show that all basic notions of possibilis tic logic have natural counterparts when dealing with partially ordered inf...
متن کاملInterval-Based Possibilistic Logic
Possibilistic logic is a well-known framework for dealing with uncertainty and reasoning under inconsistent knowledge bases. Standard possibilistic logic expressions are propositional logic formulas associated with positive real degrees belonging to [0,1]. However, in practice it may be difficult for an expert to provide exact degrees associated with formulas of a knowledge base. This paper pro...
متن کاملReasoning with partially ordered information in a possibilistic logic framework
In many applications, the reliability relation associated with available information is only partially defined, while most of existing uncertainty frameworks deal with totally ordered pieces of knowledge. Partial pre-orders offer more flexibility than total pre-orders to represent incomplete knowledge. Possibilistic logic, which is an extension of classical logic, deals with totally ordered inf...
متن کاملReasoning with multiple-source information in a possibilistic logic framework
This paper addresses the problem of merging uncertain information in the framework of possibilistic logic. It presents several syntactic combination rules to merge possibilistic knowledge bases, provided by different sources, into a new possibilistic knowledge base. These combination rules are first described at the meta-level outside the language of possibilistic logic. Next, an extension of p...
متن کاملA Possibilistic Logic Encoding of Access Control
This paper proposes a modelling of information security policies in the framework of possibilistic logic. Our modelling is based on the concept of roles associated with users. Access control rules, guaranteeing the properties of confidentiality and integrity, are encoded in terms of stratified knowledges bases. The stratification reflects the hierarchy between roles and is very useful for deali...
