Abstract: Processing provides a high level of automated decision support using COTS computing software and hardware. By combining information gathered from multiple structured and unstructured data sources and converting to a common protocol shared with the conditional decision logic, the operator is freed from the task of continually monitoring the situation for compliance with pre-established rules. By organizing the conditional and simulation logic of the system in a hierarchical manner, rules are applied to data-based entities, their interactions, and the overall operational situation, and then to established procedures. The hierarchical organization of the conditional logic permits a high level of control over aggregated complex rule-based processing, and provides dynamic behavior, allowing modifications of the entire system processing to be based on the simplest human interaction or a single change in the state of one data item gathered by the system.
