An expert decision-making method is emulated based on a history of behaviors by experts in a variety of observed situations. The history of behaviors is built up from observations of actions taken by experts in analyzing a plurality of situations. Situation data representative of a situation to be processed is received, and situation features are extracted from the situation data. Each situation feature is associated with an expert behavior method used to process the situation. A behavior method is recognized from a pattern of situation features. Recognizing a behavior method is based on feature / method separation data in multidimensional space of features into areas with each area associated with a method used by experts. Parameter values for parameters in the recognized behavior method are calculated based on the situation features. The calculation of parameter values is accomplished by recognizing parameter calculation rules and calculating the parameter values using the rules. A parameter calculation rule for each parameter in the behavior method is recognized from a pattern of situation features. Recognizing a parameter calculation rule is based on feature / parameter-calculation-rules separation data of multidimensional space of features into areas with each area associated with a parameter calculation rule used by experts. The recognized behavior method is executed on the situation data using the calculated parameter values to recommend a solution for the situation. The recommended solution has solution data representing a plan of action to provide the solution and remainder data representing unprocessed situation data. A test detects whether the remainder data is in a target range. If the remainder data is not in the target range, the actions to recommend a solution are repeated until the test detects the remainder data is in the target range.
