A System To Integrate Unstructured And Semistructured Information Resources: An Application In An Innovation Design Process

摘要

A system that integrates different tools, ranging from multi-criteria analysis and mathematical programming to cognitive and social psychology, is proposed to cope with the complexities and uncertainties that generate criticality in the socio technical approach. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potentialities of this system, above all in terms of information fusion and use in various contexts, and to propose an application in relation to an industrial project, in order to support the conceptual phase of the design process.
