Keynote 1: Intelligent Decision Support for Intelligence Data Analysis by Qiang Shen

This talk will present a knowledge-based framework for the development of intelligent decision support systems under uncertain environments. This helps to assist (but not to replace) intelligence analysts by: a) identifying plausible scenarios of criminal or terrorist activity, and b) assessing the reliability, risk and urgency of generated hypotheses. In particular, the talk will introduce an integrated use of a number of recent advances in fuzzy systems for the monitoring and interpretation of intelligence data. The work offers an effective means for the generation and assessment of plausible scenarios, facilitating potentially rapid response in devising and deploying preventive measures. The talk will conclude with an outline of opportunities for further development.
