Abstract
A method for decision-making regarding a decision in an environment by a data processing system in view of multiple different objectives includes: collecting information within the environment, describing the information in at least one temporal knowledge graph (TKG), forecasting a future development of one future state or more future states at a future time or more future points in time, under different decisions by the at least one TKG. The method further describes each resulting future state/decision combination by a corresponding temporal knowledge graph, rates an adherence of each forecasted future state to each objective of the multiple different objectives, considers a trade-off between the objectives for decision-making in a time-aware manner; and provides the decision.
