Abstract :
A decision support system that behaves cooperatively in interactions with a user is demonstrated. The system is designed to achieve two types of cooperative behaviors: cooperation for interaction and cooperation for decision support. The system has a user model, an interactive decision support mechanism using a fuzzy programming method for cooperation for decision support, a response generation mechanism and a topic manager for cooperation for interaction. Moreover, two types of cooperation are integrated to achieve natural communication with users, though the system handles only relatively simple decision support problems based on data retrieval
