Using non-monotonic reasoning to manage uncertainty in railway asset diagnostics
This paper presents results from the European FP6 project InteGRail, in which Roberts led an international consortium to develop railway ontology and reasoning methods. New work on modelling and reasoning disparate data sets for large-scale complex systems, such as railways, is presented. The results were implemented in real-world case studies in the UK and Czech Republic in collaboration with Siemens (Germany). The work has enabled an EPSRC award and the development of a £1.65m Strategic Partnership with Network Rail in Data Integration. The results have led to the adoption of ontology within European standards and the British Railway Technical Strategy.
