A fuzzy inference logic system is proposed for gas turbine engine fault isolation. The gas path measurements used for fault isolation are exhaust gas temperature, low and high rotor speed, and fuel flow. The fuzzy inference logic uses rules developed from a model of performance influence coefficients to isolate engine faults while accounting for uncertainty in gas path measurements. Inputs to the fuzzy inference logic system are measurement deviations of gas path parameters which are transferred directly from the ECM(Engine Control Monitoring) program and outputs are engine module faults. The proposed fuzzy inference logic system is tested using simulated data developed from the ECM trend plot reports and the results show that the proposed fuzzy inference logic system isolates module faults with high accuracy rate in the environment of high level of uncertainty.

In this research, we propose a mechanism to develop an inference engine and expert systems based on relational database and SQL (structured query language). Generally, former researchers had tried to develop an expert systems based on text-oriented knowledge base and backward/forward (chaining) inference engine. In these researches, however, the speed of inference was remained as a tackling point in the development of agile expert systems. Especially, the forward inference needs more times than backward inference. In addition, the size of knowledge base, complicate knowledge expression method, expansibility of knowledge base, and hierarchies among rules are the critical limitations to develop an expert systems. To overcome the limitations in speed of inference and expansibility of knowledge base, we proposed a relational database-oriented knowledge base and forward inference engine. Therefore, our proposed mechanism could manipulate the huge size of knowledge base efficiently, and inference with the large scaled knowledge base in a short time. To this purpose, we designed and developed an SQL-based forward inference engine using relational database. In the implementation process, we also developed a prototype expert system and presented a real-world validation data set collected from medical diagnosis field.

In this research, we propose the mechanism to develop self-evolving expert systems (SEES) based on data mining (DM), fuzzy neural networks (FNN), and relational database (RDB)-driven forward/backward inference engine. Most researchers had tried to develop a text-oriented knowledge base (KB) and inference engine (IE). However, this approach had some limitations such as 1) automatic rule extraction, 2) manipulation of ambiguousness in knowledge, 3) expandability of knowledge base, and 4) speed of inference. To overcome these limitations, knowledge engineers had tried to develop an automatic knowledge extraction mechanism. As a result, the adaptability of the expert systems was improved. Nonetheless, they didn't suggest a hybrid and generalized solution to develop self-evolving expert systems. To this purpose, we propose an automatic knowledge acquisition and composite inference mechanism based on DM, FNN, and RDB-driven inference engine. Our proposed mechanism has five advantages. First, it can extract and reduce the specific domain knowledge from incomplete database by using data mining technology. Second, our proposed mechanism can manipulate the ambiguousness in knowledge by using fuzzy membership functions. Third, it can construct the relational knowledge base and expand the knowledge base unlimitedly with RDBMS (relational database management systems) module. Fourth, our proposed hybrid data mining mechanism can reflect both association rule-based logical inference and complicate fuzzy relationships. Fifth, RDB-driven forward and backward inference time is shorter than the traditional text-oriented inference time.

This paper proposes an expert system which can determine automatically the shunting routes corresponding to the given shunting works by considering totally the train operating environments in the station. The expert system proposes the multiple shunting routes with priority of selection based on heuristic search strategy. Accordingly, system operator can select a shunting route with the safety and efficiency among the those shunting routes. The expert system consists of a main inference engine and a sub inference engine. The main inference engine determines the shunting routes with selection priority using the segment routes obtained from the sub inference engine. The heuristic rules are extracted from operating knowledges of the veteran route operator and station topology. It is implemented in C computer language for the purpose of the implementation of the inference engine using the dynamic memory allocation technique. And, the validity of the builted expert system is proved by a test case for the model station.

As a general model of rule-based systems, we propose a model for a fuzzy production system having chaining rules and an inference engine associated with the model. The concept of so-called 'fuzzy petri nets' is used to model the fuzzy production system and the inference engine is designed to be capable of handling inexact knowledge. The fuzzy logic is adopted to represent vagueness in the rules and the certainty factor is used to express uncertainty of each rules given by a human expert. Parallel, inference schemes are devised by transforming Fuzzy Petri nets to matrix formula. Futher, the inference engine mechanism under the Mamdani's implication method can be desceribed by a simple algebraic formula, which makes real time inference possible.

근래에 들어 풍부한 지식베이스를 구축하기 위한 대용량 RDFS 추론에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 기존의 단일 머신으로는 대용량 데이터의 추론 성능을 향상시키기에 한계가 있다. 그래서 분산 환경에서 의 RDFS 추론 엔진 개발이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 분산 환경 엔진은 실시간 처리가 불가능 하며 구현이 어렵고 반복 작업에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 병렬 그래프 구조 를 사용한 인-메모리 분산 추론 엔진 구축 방법을 제안한다. 트리플 형태의 온톨로지는 기본적으로 그래프 구조를 가지고 있으므로 그래프 구조 기반의 추론 엔진을 설계하는 것이 직관적이다. 또한 그래프 구조를 활용하는 오퍼레이터를 활용하여 RDFS 추론 규칙을 구현함으로써 기존의 데이터 관점과 달리 그래프 구조의 관점에서 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 추론 엔진을 평가하기 위해 LUBM1000(1억 3천 3백만 트리플, 17.9GB), LUBM3000(4억 1천 3백만 트리플, 54.3GB)에 대해 추론 속도를 실험을 하였으며 실 험결과, 비-인메모리 분산 추론 엔진보다 약 10배 정도 빠른 추론 성능을 보였다.

가용 센서를 내장하고 있는 모바일 디바이스의 사용이 많아지고 자동화, 자율화, 사용자 맞춤식 서비스의 요구가 커짐에 따라 컨텍스트 인지 모바일 컴퓨팅 (Context-Aware Mobile Computing)의 필요성이 증대하고 있다. 하지만 추론 시스템 설계는 컨텍스트 분석, 인지하고자 하는 상황분석 등의 복잡한 과정을 요구한다. 또한 모바일 디바이스의 제한된 자원 때문에 컴퓨팅 파워가 높은 서버에 탑재된 추론 엔진을 통해 추론을 수행하는 것이 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 과정을 간결하고 정확하게 표현하기 위한 컨텍스트-상황 추론 요소의 범용적 정형 모델을 제안하고 추론 요소들의 정형 모델을 실사례에 적용하여 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 추론 요소들의 정형 모델이 실효성을 가지고 있으며 범용적임을 보여준다. 또한 제한한 추론 요소들을 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실현화하기 위해 제안한 정형 모델들을 기반으로 추론 엔진을 설계 및 구현하고 추론 실험을 통해 추론 엔진의 실효성과 재사용성을 검증한다.

웹 표준 언어인 XML에 기반한 각종 표준들을 바탕으로 소프트웨어 에이전트와의 인터페이스에 초점을 맞추고 있는 차세대 웹에서 소프트웨어 에이전트의 두뇌 역할을 수행하기 위한 추론엔진은 시맨틱 웹(Semantic Web)에서의 규칙 표현을 위한 언어인 SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language)을 이해할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 SWRL을 규칙 표현 방법으로 사용하고, OWL을 사실 표현 방법으로 사용하는 정방향 추론엔진인 SMART-F(SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools-Forward chaining inference engine)을 개발하고자 한다. 전통적인 규칙 추론 분야에서는 정방향 추론을 위하여 if-then 형태의 규칙을 네트워크 구조로 변환하여 정방향 규칙 추론의 효율성을 높인 Rete 알고리즘이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이를 시맨틱 웹 환경에 적용하기 위하여 SWRL 기반 정방향 추론을 위한 요구 기능을 분석하고, Rete 알고리즘에 도출된 차세대 시맨틱 웹의 요구 기능을 반영한 정방향 추론 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 또한, 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 각종 플랫폼의 독립성과 이식성을 확보하고 기기간의 성능 차이를 극복할 수 있도록 사실 베이스 및 규칙 베이스의 관리도구와 정방향 추론 엔진 등을 Java 컴포넌트로 개발하였으며, 이는 이미 개발된 역방향 추론엔진인 SMART-B와 규칙 베이스 및 사실 베이스를 완벽하게 호환 가능하므로 차세대 웹 환경에서의 지식 활용을 극대화시킬 것이다.
