Development of a Mixed Scanning Interactive System for Decision Support.

Abstract

This research has resulted in the development of an interactive planning and decision support process that allows the decisionmaker, rather than a paradigm, to iteratively select the mix of parameter value precision and alternative ranking specificity in multiple criteria decision situations. This process permits the decisionmaker to choose a behaviorally meaningful, rational approach to nondominated alternative selection that incorporates parameter imprecision. The parameters that can be imprecisely described are: probabilities, alternative scores on lowest level attributes, and attribute tradeoff weights. Development has placed emphasis on the behavioral relevance of the support process. This final report contains, in addition to a summary description of the research, reprints of papers published under ONR sponsorship that provide further analytical and behavioral discussions related to this process.
