Abstract
This paper describes the application of uncertainty to a radio communication system. In this particular application, uncertainty information is used to optimise a Reason Maintenance System so that tight deadlines can be met. The advantages of using uncertainty techniques here are the capability of dealing with data which may have been corrupted, and the improved real-time performance. The experiences of using uncertainty techniques in a real application are summarised.
