FISM (Flexible Interpretive Structural Modeling) is a computer-aided system which effectively and flexibly supports human thinking process and human idea generating process. The process of thinking and idea generating by FISM is called FISM Session. One of characteristics of FISM is that it supports idea conceiving and idea arranging in human thinking process mutually and supplementary. Another characteristic is that FISM has some strategies based on mathematical background to support arrangement of idea. In this paper, details of functional specifications of FISM are described. FISM system is composed of three subsystems FISM/WS, FISM/CdI and FISM/PC. FISM/WS and FISM/CdI are implemented on UNIX workstation. FISM/WS supports all steps of FISM Session, for instance, the embedding step and the partitioning step, etc. FISM/CdI is a card-imaged interface tool. It supports the element extraction step and the result display step in FISM Session. FISM/PC is the personal computer version of FISM/WS, and it has basically the same function as FISM/WS. Effectiveness and use of FISM are shown by using the example in business field.
