Managing Sensors and Information Sources Using Semantic Matchmaking and Argumentation

Abstract. Effective deployment and utilisation of limited and constrained intelligence resources — including sensors and other sources — is seen as a key issue in modern multinational coalition operations. In this talk, I will examine the application of semantic matchmaking and argumentation technologies to the management of these resources. I will show how ontologies and reasoning can be used to assign sensors and sources to meet the needs of missions, and show how argumentation can support the process of gathering and reasoning about uncertain evidence obtained from sensor probes.
