Abstract

This paper describes knowledge acquisition methods and a force generation decision aid, ForMAT, that has been developed to support the acquisition, representation, and dissemination of knowledge about military forces for use in solving large scale planning problems. The paper describes the problem domain, how the knowledge acquisition was performed in general and with the use of ForMAT through a coupling of knowledge acquisition and case-based reasoning techniques. The paper concludes with a description of the status of the system and a description of how the system will be evaluated for performance from a user-centered perspective in the context of a complex planning scenario.
