Open Discussion

Have a discussion on how models support decision analysis.
How descriptive models are being used to support decisions.
How do we use models to help us communicate, to inform the math models we build, to
capture knowledge, to connect data and models together.
How do we use models to organize goals and criteria used in a decision analysis effort?
How do we use models to describe solution alternatives
How do we handle changes that are being made on the project in real time and
How are models used to help inform a decision analysis effort of those changes?
How do we establish traceability to the decisions that are being made on a project?
Please let me know if you will be able to present work that you may have done or are doing
in this area.
