The investigations in this Ph.D. project are based on the fact that
humans are able to make reasonable decisions though their domain
knowledge is often only vague or uncertain. If we, for example, choose
clothes in the morning, the exact temperature outside is not relevant
for the decision. We intuitively form classes or terms
of all possible temperatures like "shirt-temperature",
"pullover-temperature", etc. that are easy to understand. Apart from
the fact that the definition of these terms depends on the context
(country, person, etc.) the terms can obviously not be defined
exactly, even if a single person tries to determine them for
himself. That is, the terms are inherently vague and/or uncertain. The
aim of this project is to find a flexible representation of vague and/or
uncertain terms, rules between terms and an efficient way to reason
on the basis of the rules.
