“…While cooperating with IIASA, Polish researchers in this field concentrated on the development of several prototype DSSs using reference point (later called aspiration-based) methods. This development started with several variants of the DIDAS systems Kreglewski et al, 1989), and included DINAS, HYBRID, and other systems (Ogryczak et al, Makowski et al, Bogucka et al in this volume).…”

“…The nonlinear multicriteria system DIDAS-N 3.2 (Kreglewski et al, 1988) can be run on an IBM / PC/ XT/ AT or compatible computer, as is the case with the RAINS model. DIDAS-N uses a user-friendly spreadsheet format, and facilitates an interactive decision process wich is based on the reference point method (Wierzbicki, 1982;Lewandowski andWierzbicki, 1988a, 1988b).…”

“…It is clear that such an analysis is of a multicriteria nature. The powerful and interactive nonlinear multicriteria optimization package IAC-DIDAS-N (Kreglewski et al, 1988), also known as DIDAS-N, is used to perform this analysis. The analysis is performed without making the controversial step of monetarizing the benefits.…”

ForewordOver the years IIASA has played an important role in developing methods for improving decision making concerning the acid rain problem. IIASA's RAINS model is accepted as a basis for negotiations between countries with regard to the abatement of acid rain. As a decision problem, the abatement of acid rain is typically a problem with several criteria, for example, the amounts of money spent by the different countries to diminish emissions and the target levels for the depositions. This paper proposes an interactive approach for finding reasonable deposition levels for all countries involved by a limited transfer of funds between those countries.The basis for this work was laid when the authors participated in IIASA's Young Scientist Summer Program. The work is a result of cooperation between the Transboundary Air Pollution Project and the Methodology Decision Analysis Project. Abstract: In this paper, the acid rain problem in Europe is discussed, stressing the transboundary tradeoffs between abatement costs of sulphur emission reduction and corresponding deposition levels in the different countries. An interactive decision support methodology is proposed which utilizes a powerful nonlinear multicriteria software package to evaluate various scenarios and tradeoffs. This methodology provides a more appropriate tool for policy making than single-objective minimization of costs with given target deposition levels, because in the latter the tradeoffs cannot be analyzed directly. The results from a tradeoff analysis using previously published data suggest that reasonable deposition levels can be reached with limited transfers of funds between countries. The extent of these transfers can be controlled by selecting appropriate target levels for the criteria across countries. JAAP WESSELS Leader Methodology Decision Analysis Project

“…A method of an automatic creation of derivatives for model equations together with a way of speeding-up their calculations is presented. Most of the concepts presented in this paper are implemented in the IAC-DIDAS-N system (see Kreglewski et al, 1988) developed by the author and his collaborators during their cooperative research with the System and Decision Sciences Program of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.…”

IntroductionIt is not easy to summarize -even in a volume -the results of a scientific study conducted by circa 30 researchers, in four different research institutions, though cooperating between them and jointly with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, but working part-time, sponsored not only by IIASA's national currency funds, but also by several other research grants in Poland. The aims of this cooperative study were defined broadly by its title Theory, Software and Testing Examples for Decision Support Systems. The focusing theme was the methodology of decision analysis and support related to the principle of reference point optimization (developed by the editors of this volume and called also variously: aspiration-led decision support, quasi-satisfying framework of rationality, DIDAS methodology etc.). This focusing theme motivated extensive theoretical research -from basic methodological issues of decision analysis, through various results in mathematical programming (in the fields of large scale and stochastic optimization, nondifferentiable optimization, cooperative game theory) motivated and needed because of this theme, through methodological issues related to software development to issues resulting from testing and applications. We could not include in this volume all papers -theoretical, methodological, applied, software manuals and documentation -written during this cooperative study. The selection principle applied for this volume was to concentrate on advances of theory and methodology, related to the focusing theme, to supplement them by experiences and methodological advances gained through wide applications and tests in one particular application area -the programming of development of industrial structures in chemical industry, and finally to give a very: short description of various software products developed in the contracted study agreement. The material of this volume is thus divided correspondingly into three unequal parts (it must be noted, however, that the last and shortest part corresponds to the most extensive research effort).PART 1 is composed of 15 theoretical and methodological papers. It starts with two more general papers, the first explaining the focusing theme of this volume and the second describing the methodology of decision analysis in decision support systems (DSS) of the DIDAS family. The following five papers are devoted to various aspects of linear programming: three represent innovative approaches to large-scale programming problems and new mathematical and algorithmic results in this field, including a new idea of decomposition of augmented Lagrangian functions for large-scale problem -motivated and related to the work on DSS, next addresses basic problems of multiobjective dynamic trajectory optimization, a further one presents a more detailed methodological guide to a multiobjective mathematical programming package HYBRID. We present such a mixture of results on purpose, to show the broad scope of the study, its com-IV ponents of mathemati...
