Abstract: A methodology for the modeling and evaluation of decision aids is presented. Petri net models of human decision makers and decision aids are described. The approach is illustrated by modeling and analyzing the effects of a class of decision aids that is based on artificial intelligence and especially expert systems. This paper presents a procedure for assessing to what extent the measures of performance of an organization are modified when an expert system is introduced. A model of symbolic computation with fuzzy logic, using predicate transition nets, is presented to model consultant expert systems.
Keywords: analysis (and) evaluation (of) organisational decision aids; net models (of) human decision makers; artificial intelligence; expert system; performance (of organizations); symbolic computation (with) fuzzy logic (using) predicate/transition net(s).
