What is Complex Document Search for Decision Making about?

Professionals are often faced with ill-structured and complex decision situations, and they must make choices on the basis of limited information and problem clarity. These decisions are especially dif®cult when extensive document search is required. Thus, decision makers often satis®ce rather than select an optimal alternative. The research reported here applies a cascading index, logical views, hypertext, notation capability, and case-based reasoning to a conceptual design and the prototyping of an electronic retrieval document system (ERDS) that may serve as a valuable tool for decision makers faced with an ill-structured problem and the task of extensive searching. The ERDS prototype was applied to the problem domain of public accounting professional conduct. It was developed using a portion of the AICPA Professional Standards, which served as the electronic document text. The text was linked by hypertext to real and prototypical cases. A panel of industry experts validated the prototype. The results of analysis and evaluation produced ideas for the extension and wider application of the system.
