Abstract:

The research conducted under this program falls under three major themes--each falling within a primary division of decision analysis the two types of inputs, probabilities and utilities, and the combination of the inputs. Both theoretical and experimental work is included with much of the impetus coming from problems found in practical applications of technologies for aiding decision making.
