This first-rate text explores the theory and methodology of systems engineering in evaluating alternative courses of action and associated decision-making policies. It treats criteria as multidimensional, rather than scalar, in the development of normative theories. These contribute to a behavioral theory of decision making and provide guidance for exercising judgment. An introductory discussion of the systemic approach to judgment and decision is followed by explorations of psychological value measurements, utility, classical decision analysis, and vector optimization theory. The second section chiefly deals with methods of assessing and evaluating alternatives, including both noninteractive and interactive methods. A taxonomy and a comparative evaluation of methods conclude the text.

The authors provide a uniformed framework for integrating the hierarchical and multiobjective approaches to large scale computer systems. They focus on three key aspects - theory, methodology and applications. The volume is useful as a teaching tool as each hierarchical concept is first introduced under single-objective conditions, before being incorporated into the multiobjective framework. It is a manual for graduates and researchers in systems analysis, operations research, design engineering, planning and decision making.
