On development of multiobjective interactive decision analysis support systems (MIDASS)

Abstract

This paper presents a new computer program named MIDASS, which is concerned with multiobjective extension of interactive decision analysis support systems in uncertain decision environments, and in particular discusses its characteristics as interactive decision support systems. The MIDASS combines the existing computer programs: MAP, an assessment and calculation program for multiattribute utility analysis, and IDASS, an interactive decision analysis support program under uncertainty. Our new program is particularly concerned with supporting decision maker's judgmental evaluation processes interactively and mitigating the difficulty in keeping consistent assessment in subjective decision making under uncertainty.
