Using Subjective Logic to Handle Uncertainty and Conflicts

In coalition operations, information from different sources belong to different organisations have to be gathered and aggregated. The information from these resources may not be consistent. Inconsistencies in the gathered information creates severe uncertainties that hinders the usefulness of the information. In this paper, we have propose a Subjective Logic based approach for modelling the trustworthiness of information sources within a specific context. This model is used to handle inconsistencies through filtering information from less trustworthy sources.
