2. 26. Military intelligence analysis : institutional influence

   Author : Martin Bang; Juha-Matti Lehtonen; Gunnar Hult; Martin Norsell; Philip Davies; Försvarshögskolan; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; intelligence analysis; military intelligence; institutions and threat assessments; Försvarssystem; Military Technology;

   Abstract : Intelligence is vital for the outcome of battles. As long as humans wage war, there will be a need for decision support to military and civilian leaders regarding adversaries or potential adversaries. However, the production of intelligence is neither easy nor without pitfalls. READ MORE

4. 27. Envisioning a Future Decision Support System for Requirements Engineering : A Holistic and Human-centred Perspective

   Author : Beatrice Alenljung; Anne Persson; Sture Hägglund; Pär Carlshamre; Per Ågerfalk; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Requirements engineering; decision-making; decision support systems; RE decision-making; RE decision support; Informatics; Informatik; Informatics and systems science; Teknik;

   Abstract : Complex decision-making is a prominent aspect of requirements engineering (RE) and the need for improved decision support for RE decision-makers has been identified by a number of authors in the research literature. The fundamental viewpoint that permeates this thesis is that RE decision-making can be substantially improved by RE decision support systems (REDSS) based on the actual needs of RE decision-makers as well as the actual generic human decision-making activities that take place in the RE decision processes.

5. 28. A Systems Tool for Prescriptive Policy Analysis : Labelled Causal Mapping Method for Policy-oriented Modelling, Simulation and Decision analysis

   Author : Osama Ibrahim; Aron Larsson; David Sundgren; Maja Schlüter; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Public Policy; Systems analysis; Causal mapping; Policy modelling and simulation; Policy evaluation; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : The elicitation and processing of relevant information is the core of any policy decision-making process. Modelling is about making sense of the available information. Models are able to incorporate the contextual influences on policy making (e.g. READ MORE

6. 29. Fast local optimization in decision analytic software

   Author : Xiasong Ding; Love Ekenberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bilinear programming; decision analysis; optimization; linear progamming; decision support systems; iterative method; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : In decision analysis, significant recognition has been given to the fact that requiring numerically precise information seems unrealistic for real-life decision situations, Despite the emergence of many modern apporaches, which attempt to handle imprecise estimates, concentration has focused more on representation and less on evaluation. Methods such as the DELTA method  challenged this issue by its evaluation framework that can accommodate both precision an imprecision, and thus pushes forward the disign of advanced dicision analysis systems.

7. 30. Valuing environmental benefits using the contingent valuation method : an econometric analysis

   Author : Bengt Kriström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental benefits; contingent valuation; econometrics; discrete response data; continuous and discrete valuation questions; cost-benefit analysis;

   Abstract : The purpose of this study is to investigate methods for assessing the value people place on preserving our natural environments and resources. It focuses on the contingent valuation method, which is a method for directly asking people about their preferences. READ MORE
