Decision Support for Individuals, Groups, and Organizations: Ethics and Values in the Context of Complex Problem Solving

Although research exists in areas of decision support, behavioral ethics, as well as personal differences and decision making, little is understood about the processes at work at the intersection of these areas. We believe that such research will support developing decision support systems for ethics (DSSE). We lay part of the foundation to support the development of next generation DSS that fill the DSSE need, by focusing on values, cognitive biases, and complex problem solving.
