Making Hard Decisions: An Introduction to Decision Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a computational environment called AMPA (the initials for Analytical Processing Memory Environment, in Portuguese) is proposed to support the retention of decision instances in organizational memory, supporting the use of OLAP tools to improve decision making.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for regional socio-economic system managing has been developed, taking into account the impact of National projects and the influence of the external environment, where the region itself is considered as an object of management experiencing a controlling action formed under some affecting influence.

TL;DR: It was found that DDNs are exponentially faster than DP, but an increase in the values of some of the parameters investigated, such as the number of time slices and objectives, improved the DDN's computational time advantage but reduced its ability to approximate DP optimal policies.

TL;DR: An evaluation model applied to energy policy selection based on the decision analysis is proposed which may use different approaches to deal with heterogeneous information and the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluation model depending on the approach used to manage heterogeneous Information are shown.
