Abstract
The integration of decision analysis and expert system technology has not yet been sufficiently accomplished. For instance, knowledge-based systems often lack sophisticated abilities with respect to explicitly formulating needs of users, e.g. preference modelling. The approach presented has a broad range of applications but is aimed particularly at those in which the user's objective is not easily identified. Applications for machine scheduling and environmental risk assessment are outlined. We describe how identifying and continuously updating user preferences can be formally established.
