UNDERSTANDING META-SYNTHESIS APPROACH FOR COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING IN TERMS OF PROBLEM STRUCTURING AND KNOWLEDGE CREATION

摘要

@@This paper reviews some typical frameworks or models proposed for complex problem solving or the relevant computerized support development. Those include two decision-making models for decision support systems development(Simon's 3-phase model and Courtney's framework),two problem structuring approaches in strategic decisionmaking(strategic assumption surfacing and testing(SAST) and Wisdom process)and one model of creativity and relevant tasks for creativity software development.Such an analysis aims to explain the working philosophy of meta-synthesis approach and provide help to the construction of the practicing platform.i.e.Hall for Workshop of Meta-synthetic Engineering(HWMSE)by adopting the available technologies or developing new technologies.Finally two technologies.CorMap and iView for qualitative meta-synthesis for idea or assumptions generation for further verification and validation,are briefly addressed.
