Abstract:

The command and control (C2) is a decision-making process based on human cognition, which contains operational, physical, and human characteristics, so it takes on uncertainty and complexity. As a decision support approach, Bayesian networks (BNs) provide a framework in which a decision is made by combining the experts’ knowledge and the specific data. In addition, an expert system represented by human cognitive framework is adopted to express the real-time decision-making process of the decision maker. The combination of the Bayesian decision support and human cognitive framework in the C2 of a specific application field is modeled and executed by colored Petri nets (CPNs), and the consequences of execution manifest such combination can perfectly present the decision-making process in C2.
