KBSI will work closely with a team of subject matter experts from the military, industry, and academia in conducting a series of Delphi-based knowledge engineering sessions and constructing a Bayesian net to determine key decision maker evaluation factors and factors that contribute to good or bad decision making.

In the first phase of the project, KBSI will produce a new methodology for conducting decision problems-based training and evaluation and a prototype software tool for demonstrating the methodology. The methodology and tool will provide unprecedented ability for conducting scenario-based training and for significantly reducing the time and effort needed to creat tailored training scenarios. The results will help to alleviate instructor overload and to realize significant cost savings through the ability to rapidly reconfigure training scenarios for the training and retraining of Air Force personnel.
