As knowledge becomes a critical success factor of companies nowadays, lots of rule-based systems have been and are being developed to support their activities. Large number of rule-based systems serve as Web sites to advise, or recommend their customers. They usually use a backward chaining inference algorithm based on backtrack to implement those interactive Web-enabled rule-based systems. However, when the users like customers are using these systems interactively, it happens frequently where the users do not know some of the answers for the questions from the rule-based systems. We are going to design a backward chaining inference methodology considering unknown facts based on backtrack technique. Firstly, we review exact and inexact reasoning. After that, we develop a backward chaining inference algorithm for exact reasoning based on backtrack, and then, extend the algorithm so that it can consider unknown facts and reduce its search space. The algorithm speeded-up inference and decreased interaction time with users by eliminating unnecessary questions and answers. We expect that the Web-enabled rule-based systems implemented by our methodology would improve users' satisfaction and make companies' competitiveness.

현재까지 개발된 대부분의 규칙기반 의료 진단시스템에서는 의사들이 환자들을 진단하는데 필요한 지식을 정형화된 규칙만으로 표현해야 하기 때문에 어려움이 있으며, 시스템의 성능개선을 위해 규칙들의 수정 및 추가가 이루어져야 할 뿐 아니라, 예외적인 상황에서 진단시 문제점율 지니게 된다 본 논문에서는 일반적인 급성복통 진단을 위한 지식은 규칙으로 표현하고, 기존 규칙으로 처리할 수 없는 예외적인 급성복통 진단을 위한 지식은 사례로 표현함으로써 규칙과 사례가 서로 보완적인 역할을 할 수 있는 통합 방법을 제안한다. 또한 기존의 규칙 기반 DS-DAAP와 사레기반 추론에 의해 확장된 CDS-DAAP(Combined Diagnosis System for Diseases associated with Acute Abdominal Pain)의 비교를 통해, 제안하는 접근 방법이 진단율을 향상시킴을 보였다.

The amount of Meta-data to be managed increases with development of information technology. However, when trying to integrate and share product information of heterogeneous systems within or between companies, sharing of information is impossible if product information classification systems are different. Due to the situation mentioned above, engineers judge the product information classification system and maps corresponding Meta-data for document-based sharing. Judging exponentially increasing amount of data by engineers and sharing product information using documents create great amount of time delay and errors in data handling. Therefore, construction of a system for integrated management and interoperability between product information based on semantic information similar to engineer's judgment is required. This paper proposes a methodology and necessity of a system for interoperability of product information based on semantic web, and also designs a system to integrate heterogeneous systems with different product information using rule based reasoning. This paper also suggests a system base for interoperability and integration of product information between heterogeneous systems by integrating the product information classification system semantically.

Vision-based vehicle detector systems are becoming increasingly important in ITS applications. Real-time operation, robustness, precision, accurate estimation of traffic parameters, and ease of setup are important features to be considered in developing such systems. Further, accurate vehicle detection is difficult in varied complex traffic environments. These environments include changes in weather as well as challenging traffic conditions, such as shadow effects and jams. To meet real-time requirements, the proposed system first applies a color background to extract moving objects, which are then tracked by considering their relative distances and directions. To achieve robustness and precision, the color background is regularly updated by the proposed algorithm to overcome luminance variations. This paper also proposes a scheme of feedback compensation to resolve background convergence errors, which occur when vehicles temporarily park on the roadside while the background image is being converged. Next, vehicle occlusion is resolved using the proposed prior split approach and through reasoning for rule-based tracking. This approach can automatically detect straight lanes. Following this step, trajectories are applied to derive traffic parameters; finally, to facilitate easy setup, we propose a means to automate the setting of the system parameters. Experimental results show that the system can operate well under various complex traffic conditions in real time.

We have designed a multiple-valued fuzzy Approximate Analogical-Reseaning system (AARS). The system uses a similarity measure of fuzzy sets and a threshold of similarity ST to determine whether a rule should be fired, with a Modification Function inferred from the Similarity Measure to deduce a consequent. Multiple-valued basic fuzzy blocks are used to construct the system. A description of the system is presented to illustrate the operation of the schema. The results of simulations show that the system can perform about 3.5 x 106 inferences per second. Finally, we compare the system with Yamakawa's chip which is based on the Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) with Mamdani's implication.

기존의 규칙 귀납법(Rule Induction)은 양성적 추론(positive reasoning)과 음성적 추론(negative reasoning)을 잘 반영하지 못하고 있지만 의학 분야의 추론은 양성적 추론과 음성적 추론을 모두 포함하고 있다. 이것이 의학 전문가들이 귀납된 규칙을 해석하는데 어려움을 가지게 되며, 진단 과정을 위해서 규칙을 해석하는 것을 쉽게 진행할 수 없는 이유이기도 하다. 본 연구에서는 양성적 규칙들과 음성적 규칙들의 귀납법을 위한 두 가지 알고리즘을 적용한 진단 시스템인 DS-ARI(Diagnosis System using Algorithms for Rule Induction)물 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템과 기존 시스템을 비교해 보았을 때 제안하는 시스템에서 전문가의 지식을 보다 정확하게 표현하여 정확성을 높이게 되었다.

The goal of this study is to examine on reasoning and search for construction of diagnosis ontology as a knowledge base of diagnosis expert system in oriental medicine. Expert system is a field of artificial intelligence. It is a system to acquire information with diverse reasoning methods after putting expert's knowledge in computer systematically. A typical model of expert system consists of knowledge base and reasoning & explanatory structure offering conclusion with the knowledge. To apply ontology as knowledge base to expert system practically, consideration on reasoning and search should be together. Therefore, this study compared and examined reasoning, search with diagnosis process in oriental medicine. Reasoning is divided into Rule-based reasoning and Case-based reasoning. The former is divided into Forward chaining and Backward chaining. Because of characteristics of diagnosis, sometimes Forward chaining or backward chaining are required. Therefore, there are a lot of cases that Hybrid chaining is effective. Case-based reasoning is a method to settle a problem in the present by comparing with the past cases. Therefore, it is suitable to diagnosis fields with abundant cases. Search is sorted into Breadth-first search, Depth-first search and Best-first search, which have respectively merits and demerits. To construct diagnosis ontology to be applied to practical expert system, reasoning and search to reflect diagnosis process and characteristics should be considered.

To enhance the rule-based reasoning capability of Semantic Web, the XRML (eXtensible Rule Markup Language) approach embraces the meta-information necessary for the extraction of explicit rules from Web pages and its maintenance. To effectuate the automatic identification of rules from unstructured texts, this research develops a framework of using rule ontology. The ontology can be acquired from a similar site first, and then can be used for multiple sites in the same domain. The procedure of ontology-based rule identification is regarded as a graph search problem with incomplete nodes, and an A* algorithm is devised to solve the problem. The procedure is demonstrated with the domain of shipping rates and return policy comparison portal, which needs rule based reasoning capability to answer the customer's inquiries. An example ontology is created from Amazon.com, and is applied to the many online retailers in the same domain. The experimental result shows a high performance of this approach.

OWL is an ontology language for the Semantic Web, and suited to modelling the knowledge of a specific domain in the real-world. Ontology also can infer new implicit knowledge from the explicit knowledge. However, the modeled knowledge cannot be complete as the whole of the common-sense of the human cannot be represented totally. Ontology do not concern handling nonmonotonic reasoning to detect incomplete modeling such as the integrity constraints and exceptions. A default rule can handle the exception about a specific class in ontology. Integrity constraint can be clear that restrictions on class define which and how many relationships the instances of that class must hold. In this paper, we propose a practical reasoning system for open and closed-world reasoning that supports a novel hybrid integration of ontology based on open world assumption (OWA) and non-monotonic rule based on closed-world assumption (CWA). The system utilizes a method to solve the problem which occurs when dealing with the incomplete knowledge under the OWA. The method uses the answer set programming (ASP) to find a solution. ASP is a logic-program, which can be seen as the computational embodiment of non-monotonic reasoning, and enables a query based on CWA to knowledge base (KB) of description logic. Our system not only finds practical cases from examples by the Protege, which require non-monotonic reasoning, but also estimates novel reasoning results for the cases based on KB which realizes a transparent integration of rules and ontologies supported by some well-known projects.
