This paper deals with decision making in a real time optimization context under uncertain data by linking Bayesian networks (BN) techniques (for uncertainties modeling) and linear programming (LP, for optimization scheme) into a single framework. It is supposed that some external events sensed in real time are susceptible to give relevant information about data. BN consists in graphical representation of probabilistic relationship between variables of a knowledge system and so permit to take into account uncertainty in an expert system by bringing together the classical artificial intelligence (AI) approach and statistics approach. They will be used to estimate numerical values of parameters subjected to the influence of random events for a linear programming program that perform optimization process in order to select optimal values of decision variables of a certain real time decision-making system.
