DECISIONMAKING UNDER AGGREGATE UNCERTAINTY: THE ENGINEERING DECISIONS IN A SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

Abstract

The report presents a technique for analyzing decisionmaking under aggregate uncertainty. The technique is constructed in such a way that it can be used as a tool to evaluate policies for decisionmaking or to evaluate the influence of multiple incentive contracts. The technique combines engineering and decisionmaking analyses into a simulation model of system development. The simulation model has two parts: a model of a system development project; and a model of the decision and information processes in system development. (Author)
