            Abstract : 
The tools for situation description and decision making are considered. We demonstrate how to relate the typical collection of similar systems and situations with algebraic systems. The procedures for transforming the statements in the so-called compressed or constraint language into corresponding algebraic system theory formula are described. The inferring of formulas for decision making is also considered.
