Our focus here is to provide a methodology that can be used by a participant in an adversarial decision‐making environment to help choose their action. Central to our approach is the use of knowledge and perceptions about one's adversary to obtain an uncertainty profile indicating which action the adversary will take. Once having this uncertainty profile, the problem of deciding which action to take becomes a problem of decision making under uncertainty. Here, we make considerable use of the Dempster‐‐Shafer belief structure as a way of formalizing the uncertainties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
