Abstract

When a decision support system relies on information coming from different sources to reason about different recommendations it may be desirable to compute, record, track and engineer the influence that each source has on the elements which form part of the reasoning process. Different sources of information may have varying levels of reliability and, consequently, decision makers may want to reduce the potential impact of inputs from less reliable sources. In this paper, we introduce an approach for managing variable-quality inputs to a human multi-agent decision support system by using computational argumentation and commitments to model the relationships between sources and the data they provide, in a context-sensitive way. The methodology is illustrated with a clinical case study.
