This forces us to make management and operational decisions faster and tighter, i.e. decisions which will bring us competitive edge. On the other hand problems which we are concerned with are becoming larger and more complex. This indicates a need for decision support tools that will enable us to make decisions based on fast appraisal of the situation and development of appropriate models and solutions. These tools must be highly interactive, easy to interface to different imformation repositories, i.e. external data bases, execution environments, and should be applicable to situations in different application domains. Furthermore, software systems we produce are becoming larger and more complex, and the cost of their construction is increasing at an alarming rate. New methodologies introduced recently and the application of software reuse in construction of software is becoming "a silver bullet" answer to rein in the cost and time overruns of software development. In the talk we propose a methodology and a tool in the form of an interactive platform based on HyperNet - a world-wide distributed hypermedia system, as its infrastructure. They are our answer to interactive decision making and semi-automatic construction of software problem solvers. Zeit: Mittwoch, 4.Juni 1997, 18:30 Uhr pktl. Ort: ÖFAI, Schottengasse 3, 1010 Wien 1.
