Overview of ROME: A Reason-Oriented Modeling Environment.

Abstract

The ROME system is an experimental decision support system generator that incorporates facilities originally developed for 'expert' artificial intelligence systems. Like other DSS generators, it provides a set of tools for building, running, and documenting mathematical models of business activities. Beyond that, however, the system includes explicit differentiation between hard facts and softer information such as assumptions and expectations, a set of procedures for evaluating and explaining results, and a natural language user interface. In this paper, we discuss the representation of knowledge in ROME and show how it is used to answer questions, explain trends, detect anomalous values, and assess the credibility of model assumptions.
