Abstract
Knowledge representation issues related to the modelling of imprecision and uncertainty are discussed in the framework of possibility theory. Differences and relations between possibility theory, fuzzy sets, probability theory and Shafer evidence theory are presented. Then, patterns of reasoning and inference and control procedures are studied in presence of uncertainty and imprecision using a possibilistic approach. the basic ideas and the main trends are emphasized rather than the mathematical and logical foundations or the technical details of implementation which can be found in the references.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
