Abstract

This chapter describes a decision support system specially designed for applications in open source intelligence. The decision support system was developed within the framework of the FP7 VIRTUOSO project. Firstly, we describe the overall scope and architecture of the VIRTUOSO platform. Secondly, we describe with detail some of most representative components of the DSS. The components employ computational intelligence techniques such as knowledge representation, soft-fusion and fuzzy logic. The DSS together with other tools developed for the VIRTUOSO platform will help intelligence analysts to integrate diverse sources of information, visualize them and have access to the knowledge extracted from these sources. Finally, we describe some applications of decision support systems in cyber-warfare.
