Abstract
Many decisions involve uncertainty, yet most decision support systems (DSSs) and expert systems (ESs) are poorly equipped to deal with such problems. This paper employs an abductive perspective to propose a pro totype framework for tackling uncertainty handling in DSS and ES. Five major features of such a framework, a user-friendly dialogue, a case- base, a knowledge-base, approximate reasoning and a fuzzification/defu zzification mechanism are presented and developed. These are supported by an extended example.
