User-Oriented Methodology and Techniques of Decision Analysis and Support

This book presents selected papers from an international workshop devoted to the theory, techniques and tools of decision analysis and support. Major trends in the development of this field are stressed, such as the tendency to place the final user of a decision support system in the center of attention, or an emerging connection between tools and software environments for modeling and for decision support. The volume is a continuation of the reports on earlier meetings which were published in the same series.
