In this paper generic decision models and both rule and utility based techniques for
transforming assessment information are developed to enhance an evidential reasoning …

In this paper, a generic rule-base inference methodology using the evidential reasoning
(RIMER) approach is proposed. Existing knowledge-base structures are first examined, and …

In artificial intelligence, it is crucial for pattern recognition systems to process data with
uncertain information, necessitating uncertainty reasoning approaches such as evidence …

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) problems are often characterised by a large number
of identified environmental factors that are qualitative in nature and can only be assessed on …

Ballasting and de-ballasting operations play a critical role in maintaining stability and safety
