1. A method of supporting a compliance agent in compliance monitoring for anomaly detection (CMAD), the method including the steps of:
receiving information relating to a suspected non-compliant event (SNCE) generated by a primary monitoring system;
selecting first heuristic cues corresponding to a set of premises from a knowledge base, said set of premises being grouped together as of possible relevance to the SNCE;
obtaining a response from the agent to each of the first heuristic cues in a Boolean response form;
selecting second heuristic cues from said knowledge base based on said Boolean responses;
obtaining responses from the agent to each of the second heuristic cues in a linguistic variable form;
combining said linguistic variables with respective relevance measures for each of said second heuristic cues to produce respective weighted intermediate propositions, said intermediate propositions providing supporting evidence; and
combining said weighted intermediate propositions to produce final propositions repudiating or confirming the SNCE, which together with said supporting evidence enables the agent to make a decision regarding the SNCE more efficiently.
