KBMDL: a knowledge based model description language for decision support

This paper presents a knowledge based model description language KBMDL. It is taken as the basis of NUIDSS, an intelligent decision support system. Due to the flexible connection with a knowledge base, the language not only enhances the construction and the management of the model base, but also has the capability of both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The other features include graphic description and interface to model, data file and database. Based on KBMDL, semi-structured and non-structured problems are decomposed as various cooperative models where the relationships are contained in the domain knowledge base. This provides efficient support for decision making.<
