Design Principles for Personalized Decision Aiding: An Application to Tactical Air Force Route Planning.

Abstract

A major problem in the design of decision aids is the combination of flexibility and effective normative guidance in procedures for representing, manipulating, and displaying uncertainty. The objectives of the present research are (a) to develop as consistent framework for personalized decision aiding; and (b) to apply the framework to a specific RADC decision aid. A framework has been developed, based on an analysis of decision making into cognitive subtasks, and on the specification of generic interface functions for personalizing, channeling, and advisory prompting. This framework was applied in an analysis of Tactical Air Force route planning and in a critique of a current decision aid in that context (RPA). A Personalized Route Planner was designed and a demonstration system has been implemented to illustrate and test the feasibility of principles of personalized decision aiding.
