Abstract
This paper focusses on the central role of modelling in decision aiding. All stages of the modelling process require choices which cannot be totally rationalized. We believe, however, that adopting a certain perspective (accepting ambiguity, favoring flexibility,...) in relation to some specificities of the decision context may prove helpful to guide the modelling process and to motivate some technical choices.
