Intelligent Support for Distributed Operational Decision Making

An integrated technology for intelligent support for distributed operational decision making is proposed. The conceptual framework implementing the technology consists of building an ontology-based model of the problem to be solved by the decision maker, formalization of the problem with a set of constraints, instantiation with the data values provided by environmental information sources, and interpretation it as constraint satisfaction problem. The problem is modelled by two types of contexts: abstract and operational. The integrated technology embodies advanced technologies for ontology & context management, and constraint satisfaction
