A paradigm for active decision support

摘要

Active decision support is concerned with developing advanced forms of decision support where the support tools are capable of actively participating in the decision making process, and decisions are made by fruitful callaboration between the human and the machine. It is currently an active and leading area of research within the field of decision support systems. The objective of this paper is to share the details of our research in this area. We present our overall research strategy for exploring advanced forms of decision support and discuss in detail our research prototype called JANUS that implements our ideas. We establish the contributions of our work and discuss our experiences and plans for future.
