Evolving Connectionist-based Decision Support Systems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 124))

Abstract

The chapter gives a background information on decision support systems and introduces a framework for building dynamic, adaptive decision support systems that evolve their structure and improve their knowledge-base through a continuous learning from data and through interaction with the environment. Such decision support systems use evolving connectionist systems (ECOS) — adaptive learning neural network models, thus their name — evolving connectionist based decision systems ECBDS. Case studies of ECBDS are presented from the areas of finance, economics, and bioinformatics.
