An active intelligent decision support system - Architecture and simulation

Development and implementation of decision support systems to support intelligent decision making is an area of research that has gained in importance in recent years. Due to the increased complexity of decision making, active involvement of the user and the computer in an intelligent way is necessary in the decision process. This paper presents issues in the design of an active intelligent decision support system (IDSS), develops an architectural model based on cooperative distributed problem solving, and performs a simulation of the system using object oriented programming for an example application in airfleet control.
