Abstract

Using NEGOPLAN as a starting point, an approach to the structuring and analysis of complex decision processes with strategic interaction is presented. The decision is represented with rule-based models describing multiple domains which reflect multiple perspectives of the decision-maker (DM). Incorporation of quantitative models into rule-based representation is discussed, and a simple example is given. The models are interfaced with response and restructure rules. The latter make it possible to change the problem representations. An example of a network of models is given. The network of models, and response and restructure rules, is controlled by the DM with the use of meta-rules. A framework of a decision support tool is outlined.
