TEAMDEC: Integrative Decision Solutions with Multiple Information Sources

Abstract

Decision researchers have tended to focus on the characteristics of individual decision-making or of ad-hoc groups. In many applications, however, decisions are influenced by interactions among people who have specific skills and functions, and who may have an ongoing responsibility to the group. The functions of TeamDec are based on research that provides actionable insights about the unique nature of team-based decisions. To develop TeamDec, the contractor has integrated this research with recent developments in information technologies to provide software that improves decision-making in terms of decreases in time and resources required (e.g. personnel), and increases in the quality of decision outcomes. Because of the flexibility in design and the use of Java, with its reliance on interfaces to other software, TeamDec can interface well with other intelligent agents as part of a larger C4I infrastructure. it need not be used as a stand-alone tool.
