Abstract

The twelve systems we have looked at all support selection problems, but they vary in the specific type of selection decision they were meant to support. This chapter compares the kinds of problems where each technique would be expected to have an advantage, and the kind of decision maker effort required. Techniques will be compared on the dimensions of:

  • Task Type

  • Task Dimensionality

  • Task Uniqueness

  • Decision Maker Cognitive Effort required
