  • Chapter
Aspiration Based Decision Support Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 331))

Abstract

This paper presents a review of various approaches to decision support, distinguishes a methodological approach based on reference point optimization and reviews advances in this field done in Poland under the contracted study agreement “Theory, Software and Testing Examples for Decision Support Systems” with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
