This paper presents a preliminary study of introduction of the Dempster-Shafer inexact reasoning method to the expert system for the power system design problem. A brief review of Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is presented and development of an inference engine adopting the Dempster-Sharer theory is reported. Developed inference engine has a ability of handling both the confirming and disconfirming knowledge represented in the production rule, and has a general purpose application in the design and diagnosis problems. Its applicability has been tested on the problem of the protection scheme selection, one of the typical design problem and we believe, it has shown the feasibility of adoption of the inexact reasoning methodology into the design problem.

Dempster-Shafer 이론은 미지의 매개변수 추정시 베이지안 기법의 제약을 완화시키기 위한 베이지안 접근법의 일반화로 해석될 수 있으며, 상호배타적인 싱글톤에만 확률이 할당되는 것이 아니라 가능한 결과의 부분집합들이 기본확률할당을 위한 대상으로 고려된다. 베이지안 접근은 우연적 불확실성 및 지식의 불확실성을 효율적으로 구분할 수 없으며, 특정도가 낮고 애매한 증거들을 다룰 수 없는 반면, Dempster-Shafer 증거추론은 이러한 문제들을 효율적으로 평가할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 홍수위험평가 및 수자원 계획 수립시 가장 기본이 되는 강우빈도해석에서 확률분포의 매개변수에 대한 불확실성 고려한 확률강우량의 산정 및 불확실성의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 Dempster-Shafer 이론을 이용하여 불확실성을 고려한 강우빈도해석모델 구축 및 적용을 통해 홍수위험평가 및 수자원 계획 등에 있어서 불확실성 표현 및 처리기법을 제시하였다.

This paper presents a new approach to diagnose and detect faults in oil-filled power transformers based on various dissolved gas analyses. A theoretic fuzzy information model is introduced, An inference scheme which yields the 'most' consistent conclusion proposed. A framework is established that allows various dissolved gas analyses to be combined in a systematic way such as the Dempster-Shafer rule. Good diagnosis accuracy is obtained with the proposed approach.

An intelligent power transformer protective relaying algorithm based on fuzzy decision-making is proposed. To distinguish external faults with CT saturation, overexcitation and inrush conditions from internal faults, a newly designed fuzzy-rule base is used. The Dempster-Shafer's rule of combition is used for fuzzy inference. A series of the S/W and H/W tests show the proposed protection algorithm has practically sufficient sensitivity and selectivity.

Expert systems using uncertain and ambiguous knowledge are not of the recent interests about uncertainty problem for performing inference similar to the decision making of a human expert. Human factors on rule-based systems often involve uncertain information. Expert systems had been used the methods of conflict resolution in a rule conflict situation, but this methods not properly solved the rule conflict. If a human expert appends a new rule to an original rule base, the rule base rightly causes a rule conflict. In this paper, the problem of rule conflict is regarded as one in which uncertainty of information is fundamentally involved. In the reduction of problem with uncertainty, we propose an enhanced rule ordering method, which improve the rule ordering method using Dempster-Shafer theory. We also propose a combinative index, which involve human factors of experts decision making.

Time variation is the essential component of the context awareness. It is a beneficial way not only including time lapse but also clustering time interval for the context inference using the information from sensor mote. In this study, we proposed a novel way of clustering based multi-sensor data fusion for the context inference. In the time interval, we fused the sensed signal of each time slot, and fused again with the results of th first fusion. We could reach the enhanced context inference with assessing the segmented signal according to the time interval at the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory based multi-sensor data fusion.

Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory is available for multi-sensor data fusion. Basic Probability Assignment is essential for multi-sensor data fusion using Dempster-Shafer Theory. In this paper, we proposed a novel method of BPA calculation with signal assessment. We took notice of the signal that reported from the sensor mote at the time slot. We assessed the variation rate of the reported signal from the terminal. The trend of variation implies significant component of the context. We calculated the variation rate of signal for reveal the relation of the variation and the context. We could reach context inference with BPA that calculated with the variation rate of signal.

A wireless sensor network needs to consist of multi-sensors in order to infer a high level of information on circumstances. Data fusion, in turn, is required to utilize the data collected from multi-sensors for the inference of information on circumstances. The current paper, based on Dempster-Shafter's evidence theory, proposes data fusion in a wireless sensor network with different weights assigned to different sensors. The frequency of events per sensor is the crucial element in calculating different weights of the data of circumstances that each sensor collects. Data fusion utilizing these different weights turns out to show remarkable difference in reliability, which makes it much easier to infer information on circumstances.

In this paper, we propose the algorithms of processing the uncertainty data using data fusion for the next generation intrusion detection. In the next generation intrusion detection, a lot of data are collected by many of network sensors to discover knowledge from generating information in cyber space. It is necessary the data fusion process to extract knowledge from collected sensors data. In this paper, we have proposed method to represent the uncertainty data, by classifying where is a confidence interval in interval of uncertainty data through feature analysis of different data using inference method with Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory. In this paper, we have implemented a detection experiment that is classified by the confidence interval using IRIS plant Data Set for anomaly detection of uncertainty data. As a result, we found that it is possible to classify data by confidence interval.

This paper develops a sensor based navigation method that utilizes fuzzy logic and the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory for mobile robot in uncertain environment. The proposed navigator consists of two behaviors: obstacle avoidance and goal seeking. To navigate reliably in the environment, we make a map building process before the robot finds a goal position and create a robust fuzzy controller. In this paper, the map is constructed on a two-dimensional occupancy grid. The sensor readings are fused into the map using D-S inference rule. Whenever the robot moves, it catches new information about the environment and replaces the old map with new one. With that process the robot can go wandering and finding the goal position. The usefulness of the proposed method is verified by a series of simulations. This paper deals with the fuzzy modeling for the complex and uncertain nonlinear systems, in which conventional and mathematical models may fail to give satisfactory results. Finally, we provide numerical examples to evaluate the feasibility and generality of the proposed method in this paper.
