A system for decision support without explicit objective functions

Fumihiko Mori and Hiroshi Tsuji

Omega, 1983, vol. 11, issue 6, 567-574

Abstract: This paper presents a conversational decision support system: Resource Allocation in Business Operation under Uncertain Worth (RAINBOW). The focus is placed on the loosely structured decision situation where the multiple objective functions are given only implicitly and should be locally approximated by the decision maker as the decision making process proceeds. Basically, RAINBOW supports the process of convergence to a preferred alternative by giving the decision maker information which will help him form consistent evaluations of the utility function, the objective functions and the solution for the decision problem.
