Patent US 7,849,036

A method for controlling a decisional process when pursuing an aim in a specific application domain, such as economic, technical, and organizational fields. In the process, a system of agents is created, including creator cognitive agents of portable knowledge objects and constructor agents of knowledge objects by adding supplementary knowledge elements to the knowledge objects created. The system launches the decisional process by tracking the observation of an abnormality in the actual data of the application domain by the creation of an initial knowledge object representative of an alarm index and causes several decisional paths to be established linked to this object, under different points of view of different agents, each in its domain, and the decision is made following merging of decisional paths.
