Abstract
In the “Triple Brain” approach (“3-Hirn” in German) one human and two computers with different programs are involved. Both programs are started and present one solution each. The human is a controller. He inspects the computer solutions and selects one of them. The human is not allowed to outvote the machines.
“Triple Brain” is a “Decision Support System with Multiple Choice Structure”: Computer programs (one or several) provide a handful of interesting candidate solutions, and a controller (typically a human) has the final choice among these candidates. This article exhibits and discusses various aspects of Decision Support Systems with Multiple Choice Structure.
