Abstract
In this paper, a computerized assistant for the construction of decisi on trees is described. With this system, designers of automatic tree b uilding algorithms can quickly and easily evaluate new algorithmic des igns for solving specific decision problems. A generic algorithmic tem plate, which is initialized by the designer of algorithms with his(her ) own formulas, is the basic mechanism for creating new tree building algorithms. These algorithms can then be tested on different decision problems, using the interactive-graphic environment provided by the sy stem.
