Abstract

This paper asserts that a multi-perspective viewpoint must be taken in the design of a computational system support capability for decision-making. We offer views from a Decision-Science slant, a Systemic Architectural view, and the need for technological support to realize improvements in analytical rigor. We have been researching and evolving the design of an analysis tool framework exploiting the hybrid concepts of a Belief-based Argumentation and Story-based subsystem. The notion of rigor, defined as a quality measure on the reasoning/ analysis process, is one overarching principle of our approach, driven by the need for the associated analysis/decision-support product quality that complex modern problems demand. Our approach to the design of a mixed-initiative analysis tool is highly multidisciplinary and has taken account of an exhaustive review of the relevant literature along each viewpoint.
