Advanced Decision Technology
Abstract
The general objective of the work performed under the contact was to develop, evaluate, and transfer to operational use advanced decision-aiding technologies designed to assist defense decision makers in the logical solution of decision problems involving uncertainty, complexity, and dynamic effects. More specifically, the objectives were to: Advance the knowledge base bearing on human decision processes through relevant basic research in such disciplines as psychology, mathematical logic, operations research, artificial intelligence, and organizational behavior; Develop decision aids oriented toward the needs of decision makers for application in operational decision situations; Conduct pilot applications of decision aids in which decision analysts and operational personnel assess the capability and suitability of promising decision-aiding technologies; Conduct formal evaluations of decision aids to quantify, insofar as possible, their operational utility; and Effect transfer and sustaining institutionalization of advanced decision technology into the ongoing decision- making processes of operational organizations.
