  • An Engineering Decision Support System (EDSS) with alternative-criterion pair evaluations

    Creator:
    Herling, Derald E.
    Abstract:
    An Engineering Decision Support System, EDSS, was developed using Bayesian mathematics which incorporates knowledge and confidence components observed in alternative-criterion pair decision making. The separation of knowledge and confidence has been previously unaccounted for in decision-making methods. EDSS provides decision support to individuals or teams which must make choices between...

  • Effective decision-theoretic assistance through relational hierarchical models

    Creator:
    Natarajan, Sriraam
    Abstract:
    Building intelligent computer assistants has been a long-cherished goal of AI. Many intelligent assistant systems were built and fine-tuned to specific application domains. In this work, we develop a general model of assistance that combines three powerful ideas: decision theory, hierarchical task models and probabilistic relational languages. We use the...

  • Medical diagnosis : a functional model and diagnostic aid

    Creator:
    Zolfaghari, Kiumars
    Abstract:
    Improving the quality of the medical system has always been of great importance but has not always made the largest advances. A significant percentage of medical errors are due to wrong, missed, or delayed medical diagnosis. Diagnostic errors are among the most preventable categories of medical errors, but when an...

  • Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

    Creator:
    Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
    Abstract:
    Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

  • Automating pilot function performance assesssment using fuzzy systems and a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Zaspel, Joachim C.
    Abstract:
    Modern civil commercial transport aircraft provide the means for the safest of all forms of transportation. While advanced computer technology ranging from flight management computers to warning and alerting devices contributed to flight safety significantly, it is undisputed that the flightcrew represents the most frequent primary cause factor in airline...

  • A decision support system for integrating fishing and fish processing

    Creator:
    Bjarnason, Einar Thor
    Abstract:
    Production planning in fish processing is heavily dependent on the raw material supply. Because of the uncertainties associated with the quantity of catch and its composition, planning for production is a difficult task. Until recently the fish processing plants in Iceland also had to accept the entire loads of fishing...
