ICT architecture for supporting elder employees to make conscious decisions under time pressure

Abstract

This chapter proposes an innovative architecture to provide services for supporting and helping working elders to analyze, visualize, and comprehend the situation they are facing, to take decisions under intense time pressure and to enact the intergenerational knowledge transfer of competencies based on experience to younger employees. Innovative ICT techniques are proposed for developing the functionality of the envisioned services. The social and economic dimension of the proposed solution is assured by reducing early retirement among older decision makers, thus strengthening economic and industrial base.
