This paper presents briefly the software for interactive decision support and software tools for developing decision support systems, developed in years 1985-1988 within the contracted study agreement between the System and Decision Sciences Program at IIASA and several Polish scientific institutions, including the following: Institute of Automatic Control, Warsaw University of Technology; Institute of Systems Research, Polish Academy of Sciences; Institute of Informatics, Warsaw University; Institute of Automatics, Academy of Mining and Metallurgy, Krakow. The theoretical part of the results developed within the project is presented in the IIASA Working Paper WP-88-071 entitled "Theory, Software and Testing Examples in Decision Support Systems". This volume contains also the theoretical and methodological backgrounds of the software systems developed within the project. These are presented shortly in this paper.
Detailed software descriptions and user manuals have been published as separate IIASA Working Papers. Each Working Paper describes one software product and the title of such a paper corresponds to the title of the section in this paper.
All software products in executable form are available to educational and scientific institutions, assuming that these products will not be used for commercial applications. Inquires for software should be directed to the System and Decision Sciences Program at IIASA, Methodology of Decision Analysis Project
