Design of Case Based Simulations Applied To Decision Making

摘要

This article aims at presenting the analysis modality of experts decision making in areas such as company management, professions (waiter), multimedia conception and medicine design, in order to build up learning systems. Although each of these professions has its own vocabulary and methods, we notice that, beyond these differences, a common problem solving process comes out. Two "components" may be identified : the first one is the classical deductive approach, and it works together with a more associative, inductive approach. The former may be represented by a rule based approach and the latter by a case based reasonning one. Furthermore pactical and pedagogical reasons bring us to consider trainment systems "simulating" professional situations. This paper describes a model and methods for the design of these "case based simulations".
