Marek Makowski
Marek Makowski, from the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, joined IIASA in August 1987 to work on the development and application of mathematical programming software. He is currently the Project Leader of the Integrated Modeling Environment Project.
Dr. Makowski graduated in 1970 with an Engineer and a Master of Science degree in the field of automatic control and computer sciences, received from the Faculty of Electronics of the Warsaw University of Technology; he had also studied mathematics at the Warsaw University. Dr. Makowski received his Ph.D. in 1976 from the Polish Academy of Sciences for his thesis on the optimization of environmental models. He was leader of the project on the development of decision support systems for various applications in Poland, and since 1976 he has been actively participating in joint projects with IIASA. From September 1989 to August 1991, he was Acting Project Leader of the Methodology of Decision Analysis (MDA) Project, then Senior Research Scholar with the MDA, and since 1996 with the Risk, Modeling and Society Project.
Dr. Makowski's research interests focus on model-based support for solving complex problems, which incorporates three interlinked areas. First, integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and its representation by mathematical models. Second, creation of knowledge by comprehensive model analysis, including multicriteria methods. Third, tailoring the modeling process to meet the needs of decision-making processes.
Thus the research interests cover a cluster of areas relevant to the adaptation (whenever possible) or development (when needed) of methodology, algorithms, and software for model-based decision-making support. This includes more specific topics in Operations Research (OR) such as: multicriteria problem analysis, large scale optimization, optimization of badly conditioned problems, use of database management systems for complex models, decision analysis and support, user interfaces in decision support systems, effective treatment of uncertainty and risk.
The current focus is on Structured Modeling Technology (SMT), which is being developed to meet the IIASA's growing needs for tailored modeling support for problems characterized by complex relations, huge amounts of data, and the demand for integrated model analysis. SMT aims at supporting interdisciplinary teams working at dispersed locations on model specification, collection and verification of data, definition of various model instances, and applying diversified methods of model analysis. Thus SMT is based on the Web and uses DBMSs for a consistent management of all persistent elements of the whole modeling process.
