Uncertainty management in a decision-making system
First Claim
1. An assisted decision-making system for constructing and evaluating a story of interest comprising:
- a plurality of decision algorithms, each decision algorithm being operative to quantify at least one category of uncertainty associated with the story of interest as at least one uncertainty parameter; and
an uncertainty management component operative to reconcile the uncertainty parameters from the plurality of decision algorithms as to produce a global uncertainty parameter for each of the plurality of uncertainty categories for the story of interest.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for constructing and evaluating a story of interest. The system includes a plurality of decision algorithms. Each decision algorithm is operative to quantify at least one category of uncertainty associated with the story of interest as a set of at least one uncertainty parameter. An uncertainty management component is operative to reconcile the sets of uncertainty parameters from the plurality of decision algorithms as to produce a global uncertainty parameter for each of the plurality of uncertainty categories for the story of interest.
