An Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) Prototype for Aviation Safety Analysis

An Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, such as expert systems and neural networks, with classical decision analytic approaches to provide advanced information technology support. This paper discusses the development of an IDSS prototype, termed the Intelligent Safety Performance, Evaluation, and Control (InSPEC) System, that is designed to provide advanced decision support for aviation safety analysis. The five decision support modules of the InSPEC System are briefly described.
