Tutorial Abstract

Subjective logic is a type of probabilistic logic that is compatible with binary logic and probability calculus, and that is suitable reasoning under uncertainty and incomplete information. In subjective logic, arguments are represented as opinions which express beliefs that can be affected by degrees of ignorance. Opinions are also characterised by being subjective, which is reflected by explicitly expressing opinion ownership. Subjective logic provides a rich set of operators for combining opinions that can be used for modelling and analyzing situations involving uncertainty such as e.g. Bayesian networks and trust networks. This tutorial gives an introduction to subjective logic, and focuses on:

• The semantic and formal representation of subjective opinions,
• Operators of subjective logic,
  
• Applications of subjective logic in the areas of:
  * Information fusion
  * Bayesian networks
  * Trust reasoning
