Measuring Conflicts Using Cardinal Ranking: An Application to Decision Analytic Conflict Evaluations

Ranking radiotherapy treatment plans using decision-analytic and heuristic techniques.

Radiotherapy treatment optimization is done by generating a set of tentative treatment plans, evaluating them and selecting the plan closest to achieving a set of conflicting treatment objectives. The evaluation of potential plans involves making tradeoffs among competing possible outcomes. Multiattribute decision theory provides a framework for specifying such tradeoffs and using them to selec...

Decision-Analytic Approaches to Operational Decision Making: Application and Observation

Decision analysis (DA) and the rich set of tools devel­ oped by researchers in decision making under uncertainty show great potential to penetrate the technological content of the products and services delivered by firms in a variety of industries as well as the business processes used to deliver those products and services to market. In this paper I describe work in progress at Sun Microsystem...

Using the conflict: An application to sonar image registration

This paper presents an application of the theory of belief functions for classified images registration and fusion. We extend here some results developed on a previous paper to multiview images. For seabed characterization, we need to fuse the multi-view of sonar images to increase performances and build a complete mosaic. However, before fusion, we have to proceed to a classification of the da...
