Paper Abstract:
|
The text presents some preliminary results from an inquiry into information systems for the support of decision-making,
particularly in complex situations. A constructivist notion of complexity is assumed followed by H.A. Simons canonical
model of decision-making, all as a foundation for the elaboration of a set of guidelines for the design of decision
information systems. Two key theses are evolving in this inquiry: (i) a holistic understating of decision making processes,
including its various cognitive functions and loops, (ii) the representation and intermediation of complex situations to be
prioritised before the optimisation and resolution of decisions. |
