Structure, Evaluation, and Control of Decision Activity Networks.

Abstract

A new approach for handling special decision networks is presented. This approach also allows for optimally controlling the corresponding projects. Decision networks are activity networks with several kinds of nodes, and with each arc is associated the probability that the corresponding activity is performed, and the duration of the activity, a nonnegative random variable. Three possible entrance sides (and, exclusive-or, inclusive-or) and two exit sides (deterministic, stochastic) of a node and hence six different node types are considered satisfying a so-called 'node logic'.
