Summary:In today's military environment vast amounts of disparate information are available. To aid situational awareness it is vital to have some way to judge information importance. Recent research has developed a fuzzy-based system to assign a Value of Information (VoI) determination for individual pieces of information. This paper presents an investigation of the effect of integrating subsequent complementary and/or contradictory information into the VoI process. Specifically, the idea of using complementary and/or contradictory new information to impact the previously used fuzzy membership values for the information content characteristic applied in the VoI calculations is shown to be a particularly suitable approach.
