Ontology-based Robust Production System

Production system (PS) is a forward chaining reasoning system that provides the artificial intelligence found useful in information and decision support systems. Conventional PS uses syntactic rules termed "production rules" for logic representation and reasoning. In this paper, we introduce a novel semantic-based Production System called Ontology-based Robust Production System (OntoRPS). OntoRPS is capable of dealing with uncertainties encountered in the reasoning process, adapt and robustly produce approximated results. An automated and robust reasoning process is achieved by leveraging the semantics modeled in Ontologies and semantic-based rules called 'Robust Rules'. Ultimately, the application of OntoRPS enables the building of semantic-based solutions for real world use cases.
