Decision Making

Our group is involved in several applications of its more fondamental work on autonomous decision making and complex systems. Applications addressed include:

• Robotics, where the decision maker or agent is supported by a physical entity moving in the real world;

• Medicine or Personal Assisting Living, where the agent can be an analytic device recommending tests and/or treatments, or able to gather different sources of information (sensors for example) in order to help a final user, detecting for example anormal situation needing the rescue of a person (fall detection of elderly people, risk of hospitalization of a person suffering from chronic desease;

• Computer Security, where the agent can be a virtual attacker trying to identify security holes in a given network;

• and Business Process Management, where the agent can provide an auto-completion facility helping to decide which steps to include into a new or revised process.
