Use of an Expert System in the Board Selection Process.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to begin the development and testing of an Expert System (ES) to screen officer personnel records being considered for Command and General Staff College (CGSC). The project included a review of the artificial intelligence (Al) literature relevant to the military and human resource management, problem selection, knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, knowledge encoding, and knowledge testing and evaluation. The Al computer language PROLOG was used to develop a basic rule-based expert system. Data from 15 mock officer personnel records obtained from US Army Total Personnel Command (PERSCOM) were entered into Board Expert (BOARDEX). Results from BOARDEX were correlated to votes generated by a board consisting of ten human experts from the US Army War College Class of 1996. Numerous statistically significant correlations were found between the members of the board as well as between the human experts and BOARDEX (r = .6614, p = .007).
