The first main part of the book introduces some of the general problems dealt with in research. The second part is devoted to case studies; each presentation in this category has a well-delineated application problem and an analyzed solution based on an uncertainty formalism. The final part reports on developments of uncertainty formalisms and supporting technology, such as automated reasoning systems, that are vital to making these formalisms applicable. The book ends with a useful subject index. There is considerable synergy between the papers presented. The representative collection of case studies and associated techniques make the volume a particularly coherent and valuable resource. It will be indispensable reading for researchers and professionals interested in the application of uncertainty formalisms as well as for newcomers to the topic. 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science ;$v1455. 606 $aUncertainty (Information theory) 615 0$aUncertainty (Information theory) 676 $a003.54 702 $aHunter$b Anthony$f1962- 702 $aParsons$b Simon 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466105403316 996 $aApplications of uncertainty formalisms$91490430 997 $aUNISA
