Assembling Tools for Problem Modeling by Using Different Viewpoints

Abstract

[Abstract] This system is assembling tools in order to analyze the problem from the different viewpoints and disperse the workload to the human in convergent thinking. The features of tools are shown bellow. 1) Stagel: Structuralization by MLIPS (Mahjong-Like Idea Processing Simulation) 2) Stage2: Structuralization by mrISM (multi-relational Interpretive Structural Modeling) 1) is a new proposal. 2) is respectively based on the improvement on the traditional-model ISM. These can be expected as follows, in comparison with ISM, some wasteful efforts might be saved in stage1. In stage2, 'dummy' and 'circle' are possible to be used by feeling blank recognition and chances of bias discovery. By combining the use of MLIPS and mrISM, it is possible to think that problem-structures are viewed from top-to -down and side-to-side, so that the convergent thinking will be promoted while chances of self-recognition may increase. The prototype system is embodied by pop-up menu, card handling support and visual thinking support. In the system description by the demonstration, this prototype system has been applied to the opinion publicity of the government.
