Satisficing Decision-Making in Supervisory Control. Part 2.

Abstract

This paper describes a flexible graphics system GraMAD for aiding a human decision-maker in making a selection out of a discrete set of alternatives while trading off several criteria. Three major components of this selection process, called satisficing, are identified and three modes of information presentation to the decision-maker are studied. Necessary elements of multiple-objective computer aiding systems are discussed. Results of experiments with human subjects working with the GraMAD system are discussed. Keywords: Supervisory control; Mental models; Decision aids; Human computer interaction.
