Book Description
The main objective of this program is to construct a flexible testbed for the evaluation of the effectiveness of computer-based expert systems in military training and planning. The technical approach consists of simulating the characteristics of expert systems in a game-like environment. Such characteristics include friendly system user interaction, system explanations of rationale about decision recommendations, an ability to make relevant suggestions and comments about situation assessments and about plans proposed by the user, and the use of high-level strategic concepts and terminology. The required software for such a program includes a game environment simulator called the Scenario Generator, a simulated expert system for the game called the Expert Aid, an Optimality Algoirthm for computing the best decisions in any situation, and an Evaluation Module for recording execution histories and performance parameters. The expert system will monitor the progress of the game and can be interrogated as the user sees fit. A facility will also be provided for evaluating the user's performance under different modes of consultation with the expert system.

Book Description
Decision Support Systems Engineering Andrew P. Sage This practical guide describes the everyday nuts-and-bolts to building a decision support system that unites the concerns of both system designers and users. Beginning with an outline of the generic components of a decision support system, readers are given a technologically rigorous, yet clear, tour of its assembly line basics. Data-base management systems, model-base management systems, and dialog generation and management systems are clearly described, with emphasis on how these make a decision support system feasible and practical. 1991 (0 471-53000-X) 360 pp. Software Systems Engineering Andrew P. Sage and James D. Palmer This unique text provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of the developmental life cycle of software production. For those interested in applying a systems-based approach to software development, Software Systems Engineering discusses key aspects of such an approach—from software quality, software reliability, and development environments, to integration, maintenance, management, and cost analysis. The book’s practical look features a set of tools instrumental to success in each life cycle phase, as well as a taxonomy of methods for making the productivity tools available and subject to wider use. 1990 (0 471-61758-X) 544 pp. Design for Success A Human-Centered Approach to Designing Successful Products and Systems William B. Rouse Drawn from methods tested in a wide array of industries—aviation, the process and power industries, manufacturing, the marine industry, and communications—this important text details how to design products and systems that are market-driven and user-oriented. Using a variety of methods and tools illustrated with case studies, Design for Success outlines a concrete, human-centered approach to the design of complex systems. This new approach to system design includes a look at understanding users’ needs, design and engineering evaluation of product and systems, and more. 1991 (0 471-52483-2) 304 pp.

Book Description
A selective review of modern decision science and implications for decision-support systems. The study suggests ways to synthesize lessons from research on heuristics and biases with those from "naturalistic research." It also discusses modern tools, such as increasingly realistic simulations, multiresolution modeling, and exploratory analysis, which can assist decisionmakers in choosing strategies that are flexible, adaptive, and robust.

Book Description
This report documents the results of an invitational workshop on User Acceptance and Implementation of Military Decision Support Systems held at Fort Leavenworth on January 28-29, 1987. It was sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Institute, the Joint Services Working Group on Decision Aiding, and the U.S. Army Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity at Fort Leavenworth. Participants included 14 representatives from the military, government, and government contractors. The objectives of the workshop were to (1) identify a list of user acceptance problems and develop strategies for addressing each of them; (2) discuss problems associated with involving users in aid design and evaluation; and (3) make recommendations for addressing these user involvement problems. The report lists 22 user acceptance problems identified during the workshop and discusses the recommendations made by participants. They included that most of the recommendations that were made could best be accomplished through careful organizational management of the design and implementation of the system. Other general recommendations included early and on-going user involvement in aid design and evaluation, identification of the appropriate user for design and evaluation, common interface across aids and systems, training and education, an evolutionary development cycle, and organizational mechanisms for formally linking the user and builder. Suggestions were made for other organizational mechanisms that would facilitate user acceptance. (KR).
