Decision making in complex systems

Complex systems models for strategic decision making

A number of simulation techniques may be applied to strategy and decision-making. In using such techniques it is important to understand the role of models, in the context of the wider decision-making process which is largely a communal and political process; the choice of a particular approach or technique depends not only on the type of decision being considered, but also on the stage of the ...

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

Multiple systems in decision making.

Neuroeconomics seeks to gain a greater understanding of decision making by combining theoretical and methodological principles from the fields of psychology, economics, and neuroscience. Initial studies using this multidisciplinary approach have found evidence suggesting that the brain may be employing multiple levels of processing when making decisions, and this notion is consistent with dual-...

Decision Making in Networked Systems

Living in a networked world, human agents are increasingly connected as advances in technology facilitates the flow of information between and the availability of services to them. Through this research, we look at interacting agents in networked environments, and explore how their decisions are influenced by other people's decisions. In this context, an individual's decision may be regarding a...
