A Decision Analysis Algorithm for the SAC Warning and Control System.

Abstract

Recent efforts in decision analysis have produced on-line, real-time, computer-based decision aids for assisting decision makers in clarifying preferences in the decision environment. This thesis was created to implement a decision maker's preference structure into the SAC (Strategic Air Command) warning system. The tool used to implement the decision maker's preferences is an additive worth assessment function designed to maximize the number of aircraft that can escape in a threatening environment while minimizing the cost associated with maintaining a given alert status. A sensitivity analysis package is also provided showing the changes in variable or attribute levels that are needed to move from one alert status to another. Also provided is a user's/programmer's guide to facilitate the implementation of a decision maker's preference function. (Author)
