A strategy for the choice of modal response in an interactive decision support system

A strategy for the choice of modal responses by an interactive decision support system is presented. The situation of incomplete knowledge of the world (control object) is considered. The responses are modal belief and possibility extensions of logic formulas. The strategy has been originally used for communicative cognitive agents and is tailored to model some aspects of information processing in a business organisation. This organisation is treated as a conceptual agent in which particular observations of the world’s states are stored in distributed databases. All observations are then pre-processed in order to store them in a certain data warehouse from which the responses are extracted. The consensus-based algorithm for the choice of the most relevant response is given.
