DAISY: A Decision-Aiding Information System.
Abstract
DAISY is an information and modelling system designed to aid persons making complex interconnected sequences of decisions. Decision processes such as tactical planning, military planning, or organizational planning and control are all examples of situations where DAISY can aid the decision maker. A few of its main features include the following: -- (a) a dynamic check-list of decisions which need to be made at a given time; (b) access to a large data base of information; (c) ability to run management science models using current information to support decision making; and (d) the ability to specify conditions about which the decision maker wishes notification (e.g., ship within range of weaponry). All of these are embedded in a powerful interactive computer system. This system integrates the many functions often performed by several computer or manual systems and puts all of the power of these systems at the decision maker's fingertips. DAISY can be used in the following operating modes: (1) for training individuals in a particular complex decision process; (2) for aiding in the planning of a decision process which may have to take place (such as military scenarios); or (3) actually operating in the complex decision environment.
