This document provides a number of examples for use in developing complex decision engines. It demonstrates how information from one decision / action is combined with other decisions / actions and other input signals to create an integrated decision-making solution.
This information is to be used only with the KEEL toolkit licensed from Compsim LLC.

Objective: Humans make decisions or analyze information to perform actions. These decisions are seldom done in a vacuum. So the majority of the time, the human decision-making effort is balancing the impact of one decision on other decisions. The intent of the KEEL toolkit is to define decision-making as it is performed by humans. This is done by accumulating reasons (or arguments) that support and reject a particular decision (or action). It then allows relationships to be established from one decision to another. This document assumes that the user has familiarity with the elements of the KEEL toolkit user interface and its graphical icons. This document is broken into several segments. The first segment provides some basic building blocks that are then used in following segments to construct the appropriate relationships between ideas.
The table below is linked to examples of how to create the various patterns. By combining multiple patterns together, more complex patterns can be created.
