Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The book contains contributions in the field of aspiration-led Decision Support Systems (Dss). It consists of 3 parts. Part 1 is composed of 15 theoretical papers. It starts with general papers explaining the methodological approach and the theoretical backgrounds of the methodology presented in the book. The other papers are devoted to aspects of linear programming in the context of Dss and of nonlinear model generation and manipulation for Dss and design of decision support systems for nonlinear problems. Part 2 contains six papers related to experiences in developing and using Decision Support Systems for programming development of a selected branch of chemical industry. Part 3 of the book contains short descriptions of the Decision Support Software. The software products comprise four prototype Dss for supporting various classes of decision problems, three multiple objective mathematical programming packages which can be used as components for building dedicated Dss, and an experimental version of a Dss for supporting bargaining and negotiations.

Reseña del editor

It is not easy to summarize -even in a volume -the results of a scientific study con­ ducted by circa 30 researchers, in four different research institutions, though cooperating between them and jointly with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, but working part-time, sponsored not only by IIASA's national currency funds, but also by several other research grants in Poland. The aims of this cooperative study were de­ fined broadly by its title Theory, Software and Testing Examples for Decision Support Systems. The focusing theme was the methodology of decision analysis and support related to the principle of reference point optimization (developed by the editors of this volume and called also variously: aspiration-led decision support, quasi-satisfying framework of rationality, DIDAS methodology etc. ). This focusing theme motivated extensive theoretical research - from basic methodological issues of decision analysis, through various results in mathematical programming (in the fields of large scale and stochastic optimization, nondifferentiable optimization, cooperative game theory) mo­ tivated and needed because of this theme, through methodological issues related to software development to issues resulting from testing and applications. We could not include in this volume all papers -theoretical, methodological, appiied, software manu­ als and documentation -written during this cooperative study.
