METHOD FOR MONITORING A DECISION-MAKING PROCESS WHEN PURSUING AN OBJECTIVE IN ECONOMIC, TECHNICAL, AND ORGANIZATIONAL FIELDS
First Claim
1. A method enabling knowledge managers to make a decision after discovery of an abnormality in actual data in an economic, technical, or organizational field, to counteract the abnormality, the method including:
- creating a system of agents, comprising cognitive agents, creator agents of portable knowledge objects, and constructor agents of knowledge objects, by addition of supplementary knowledge elements to created knowledge objects;
causing the system of agents to start a decision-making process following the discovery of an abnormality in actual data of the field of application by creation of an initial knowledge object representing an alarm index;
establishing a plurality of decisional paths lied to the knowledge object under different points of view established by different agents, each agent working in a field corresponding to the point of view for which a decisional path is established;
merging the decisional paths; and
making a decision, following merging of the decisional paths, and counteracting the abnormality discovered, wherein the decision-making process reaches a final decision stage by passing through a first stage called presumption, constituting a weak switch in reasoning, reflecting a simple trend, and a strong switch decision stage, which clearly indicates direction in which the reasoning must progress.

Abstract
A method for controlling a decisional process when pursuing an aim in a specific application domain, such as economic, technical, and organizational fields. In the process, a system of agents is created, including creator cognitive agents of portable knowledge objects and constructor agents of knowledge objects by adding supplementary knowledge elements to the knowledge objects created. The system launches the decisional process by tracking the observation of an abnormality in the actual data of the application domain by the creation of an initial knowledge object representative of an alarm index and causes several decisional paths to be established linked to this object, under different points of view of different agents, each in its domain, and the decision is made following merging of decisional paths.
