A framework of a decision critic and advisor

An approach is presented for improving the performance of decision-makers. It consists of supplementing decision-support systems with a decision critic and advisor (DECAD). The function of DECAD is to 'look over the shoulder' of the decision-maker, criticizing his or her actions and giving advice when appropriate. DECAD is a knowledge-based system with an architecture built around the artificial-intelligence notion of plan.<
