Value-Driven Design of non-commercial systems through bargain modeling

Value-Driven Design is formed on the premise that a design can be created that maximizes the design organization’s preference. It is recognized that other preferences, possibly competing, exist as well and will have an influence on the design. This paper explores how the negotiation of value preferences can be captured in bargaining models to determine the optimal design for the set of negotiators, taking into account conflicting preferences and player impatience. A notional strategic strike aircraft system is used as an example to illustrate the importance of design perspectives in the emerging practice of Value-Driven Design.
