A decision support system for interactive decision making-part II: analysis and output interpretation

TLDR

Part I described how GMCR II elicits, stores, and manages conflict models, while this paper focuses on its analysis and output interpretation subsystems. The paper presents the development of GMCR II, a comprehensive decision support system for systematic study of real‑world interactive decision problems. The paper details GMCR II’s efficient analysis engine, informative output presentation, interpretation facilities, and follow‑up analyses. An illustrative case study demonstrates that GMCR II can be conveniently applied in practice. See Part I, ibid., p.42‑55 (2003).

Abstract

For pt.I see ibid., p.42-55 (2003). The development of a comprehensive decision support system, GMCR II, for the systematic study of real-world interactive decision problems is presented. The companion paper (Part I), discusses how GMCR II elicits, stores, and manages conflict models; here (Part II), the focus is on GMCR IIs analysis and output interpretation subsystems. Specifically, this paper describes the powerful and efficient analysis engine contained in GMCR II, its informative output presentation and interpretation facilities, and a number of follow-up analyses. Furthermore, an illustrative case study is used to demonstrate how GMCR II can be conveniently applied in practice.
