Abstract

Developing efficient approaches for reasoning under uncertainty is an important issue in many applications. Several graphical [3] and logical-based methods have been proposed to reason with incomplete information in various uncertainty theory frameworks. This paper focuses on possibility theory which is a convenient uncertainty theory framework to represent different kinds of prioritized pieces of information. It provides a brief overview of main compact representation formats, and their associated inference tools, that exist in a possibility theory framework.
