Mission of the DAS Project

The goal of the DAS-project (DAS = Decision Analysis and Support) is to support complex decision and planning processes. Our aim is to develop theory, methodologies, approaches and computer tools, to help a decision making unit to structure, manage and solve those processes. The approaches and tools are suitable for a wide spectrum of applications including those of particular interest to IIASA.

The word "complex" refers to the decision contexts and situations, which have no unique optimal solutions. Those kinds of situations usually emerge in network and distributed organizations, involve multiple agents, who have multiple criteria and who operate in ill-defined and dynamic environments.

DAS project strives at developing support systems which meet behavioral realism and networked environment. In order to achieve that, the research on better understanding of choice behavior and the use of modern information processing technologies and methods (like Internet/Intranet and artificial intelligence) are pillars of DAS activities.
