Materiel Deployment Method Based on Ontology

Abstract

The effective deployment of materiel is one of the key problems for battle schema. The aim of this paper is to propose a method of materiel deployment which based on ontology. This method can be considered as matching problems: matching the requirement of task to the available weapon or equipment which can provide these capabilities and matching these weapon and equipment to the platforms that carry them. This paper use ontology to do definition work and the basic semantic between them, and then use SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) to set rules which can be used to reasoning the matching activities and in the end of the paper use an example to show this method is plausible.
