Analysis of Preprocessors and Decision Aids in Organizations.

Abstract

The use of preprocessors and decision aids in command, control and communication (C3) systems is meant to reduce the workload of individual decisionmakers and improve the quality of an organization's decisionmaking. An information theoretic framework is used to model the decision aids. Thus, it becomes possible to evalaute quantitatively the effect a decision aid has on the workload of a decisionmaker and to derive necessary conditions that preprocessors (a generic form of decision aids) must satisfy in order that they reduce the human's workload.
