presentation of uncertain information in user interfaces to support decision making in complex military systems
Utilization of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) in complex dynamic environments can create several types of uncertainties. A comprehensive understanding of uncertainties in data and their adequate presentation to the operator becomes very important, particularly when the information is used in a dynamic environment where high-risk decisions should be made. Based on a review of the literature, in this paper we explain the concept of uncertain information, classify different types of uncertainties and different reasoning strategies applied to uncertain information, and propose guidelines on how to best present uncertainties on human computer interfaces.
