This book presents a framework for building intelligent systems based on the mathematical
decision models of Decision Analysis. The author provides new techniques for automated …

This paper explores the basic ingredients of intelligent decision support systems in partial
contrast to approaches followed by expert systems. Rule based expert systems for decision …

One large class of intelligent systems attempts to represent expert knowledge in terms of an
analytical language. If experts can express themselves in terms of that language, then its …

The Decision Support Systems (DSS) field has grown rapidly, drawing technology from
many disciplines and pursuing applications in a variety of domains but developing little …

It is appealing to suppose that technology has the means for improving decisions. Computer-
based systems to advise decision makers have in corporated decision analysis, expert …

The tools needed to make a better, more informed decision. Decision analysis (DA) is the
logic of making a decision using quantitative models of the decider's factual and value …

A practical approach to decision aid development is outlined. This approach systematically
exploits both the problem-structuring techniques of decision analysis and the incrementally …

The use of artificial intelligence techniques within decision support systems adds an
important new dimension to these systems, giving them the ability to reason for internal …

We present strategies for automatically explaining decisions based on Multiattribute Value
Theory, the branch of decision theory that addresses tradeoffs among multiple competing …

Background A decision is a reasoned choice between alternatives (Simon, 1955), while
decision making is the process of choosing between alternatives in order to satisfy a goal or …
