Collaborative Human-Computer Decision Making for Command and Control Resource Allocation

Abstract

The focus of this research program was the development of a collaborative human-computer decision-making model that demonstrates not only what decision making functions should always be assigned to humans or computers, but what functions can best be served in a mutually supportive human-computer decision making environment. It is possible that when the human and computer collaborate, they can discover solutions superior to the one either would have determined independently of the other. This research effort investigated the strengths and limitations of both humans and computers in command and control resource allocation problems, and examines how humans and computer can work together collaboratively to promote efficient, effective, and robust decision making.
