Research on formulation method of complicated decision making problem based on domain knowledge

Based on the present day researches on problem formulation and complicated decision making problem, a definition for complicated decision making problems is presented, the relationship between the formulation of domain knowledge and the formulation of problem is identified, and then a formulation method of complicated decision making problem based on domain knowledge is proposed. The method uses the formulated domain knowledge to formulate a complicated decision making problem. During the formulation process, the problem type knowledge and the problem structure knowledge are employed to establish the problem structure, which will be expressed by a tree like structure representation, so that the complex structure and the complex computation of the problem can be deeply understood and the solving process will be easier. © 2008 IEEE.
