Decision engineering
The decision analysis approach is named after its designer B-ADSc (Bucki - Analyse Décisionelle des Systèmes complexes -decision analysis of complex systems), which is based on new concepts for activity and decision capable ‘autonomous objects’.
The method is based on a strong theory and is using a specific paradigm. The analysis is documented in a readable, structured way highly suited to provide inputs to simulation techniques and to IS specifications.
The presentation will show how B-ADSc provides a way to overcome the complexity barrier by introducing intelligent actors encompassing the complexity of their own domain of freedom which gives way to both structured and concurrent analysis of processes and organizations.
All aspects of business are considered, from the strategic objectives of top managers to more mundane aspects of decision making or doing the work at the shop level.
Thanks to an self-absorbing algebra of activities that constitutes the formal base of it, the method, applying to the data processing systems, led in a natural way to the design and the programming of the systems massively parallel. Indeed, the vulgarizing of this technology could not be done without an easy and transmissible technique of programming of the computers massively parallel.
The generalization suggested of the logic of the 1e and 2e order with the logic of the 3e order opens new prospects in the field of the artificial Intelligence, especialy with regard to the self training or the capacity of the computers to create new conjectures. That makes it possible for example to equip a robot with the aptitude in a new situation to build in an autonomous way an understandable behavior (capacity to face a case not envisaged in advance).
