IHM et SIAD: vers une composition d'outils interactifs pour l'aide à la prise de décision

ABSTRACT

Decision making is always a topical problem. In order to take a decision in complex problem, the user needs some criteria. In general, one tool gives one analysis following one criterion. Moreover, no tool gives one analysis for all criteria. This paper presents a DSS design method. The goal is to make some analysis following several criteria in combining several tools. This method has been applied to investment in railway domain. The issues concerning the interface composing for the decision making will be presented.
