Abstract

The need of making decisions pervades every field of human activity. Several decision support methods and software tools are available in the literature, relying upon different modelling assumptions and often producing different results. In this paper we investigate the relationships between two such approaches: the recently introduced QuAD frameworks, based on the IBIS model and quantitative argumentation, and the decision matrix method, widely adopted in engineering. In addition, we describe Arg&Dec (standing for Argue & Decide), a prototype web application for collaborative decision-making, encompassing the two methodologies and assisting their comparison through automated transformation.

Fußnoten
1
 
2
Suitable interpretation and elicitation of base scores are a crucial and non trivial issue: see some discussion in [4].
 
3
Here, separability amounts to absence of interaction between attackers and supporters.
 
4
The expression of \(f_{supp}\) corresponds to the T-conorm operator also referred to as probabilistic sum in the literature [16].
 
5
The structural considerations we draw apply equally to QFs and to the underlying IBIS model.
 
6
As explained in more detail in [4], this default assignment is not simply motivated by the fact that 0.5 is the middle point of the [0, 1] interval: it represents the fact that there is no a-priori attitude towards the acceptance or rejection of an argument and ensures that, in the presence of symmetric attackers and supporters, \(\mathcal {SF}(a)\) coincides with \(\mathcal {BS}(a)\).
