Causal Schema Decision-Aiding System

Abstract

This report looks at the use of causal schema to organize concepts for understanding complex decision processes. The task selected for developing a prototype causal schema decision-aiding system was to implement portions of a fire support annex for a Corps operations order. A series of storyboards was developed based on an analysis of the prescribed elements of the Annex; the storyboards were evaluated as a prototype 'decision aid'. The author concludes that causal schema is useful in describing tactical decision processes and may offer advantages over rule-based approaches (e.g., artificial intelligence) in developing decision aids.
