| abstract | It is important for computers systems solving problems in real-world environments to have the ability to respond flexibly to wide variations in the availability of resources needed for inference. For example, the time available for computation may vary greatly depending on the criticality of the situation. The proposed research is focused on handling resource problems through endowing computational systems with knowledge about the value of computation with compex decision-making contexts. The intent is to develop techniques for reasoning about the optimal allocation of computational resources in solving diverse problems. Methods for considering resource limitations and inference tradeoffs will be especially crucial in computer systems that can provide decision support and automated control in complex and critical aerospace application areas. The research will include (1) the assignment of context-sensitive degrees of value to reasoning strategy performance, (2) the study of relationships among limited resources, (3) characterization of the behavior of uncertain reasoning strategies in varying problem settings, and (4) the development of techniques for reasoning about tradeoffs in order to optimize the value of inference to users.
