A Decision Tree Induction Algorithm for Efficient Rule Evaluation Using Shannon’s Expansion

Decision trees are one of the most popular structures for decision-making and the representation of a set of rules. However, when a rule set is represented as a decision tree, some quirks in its structure may negatively affect its performance. For example, duplicate sub-trees and rule filters, that need to be evaluated more than once, could...

An Approach to Scenario Analysis, Generation and Evaluation

This article presents an operation-oriented approach for traffic management scenario generation, analysis and evaluation. We start taking a few most applied scenarios from a traffic control centre, analysing each component and structure of the whole, and evaluating the impact of each component and some typical combinations, based on available...

A Rule-Based System for Contextualized Information Delivery

When carrying out tasks, police officers need up-to-date information contextualized to their current situation to support them in decision making. The results of a previous user study with the aim of capturing the information requirements of police officers have led to the implementation of a rule-based system for contextualized information...
