Abstract

Developing efficient and effective decision making support includes identifying means to reduce repeated manual work and providing possibilities to take advantage of the experience gained in previous decision situations. For this to be possible, there is a need to explicitly model the context of a decision case, for example to determine how much the evidence from one decision case can be trusted in another, similar context. In earlier work, context has been recognized as important when transferring and understanding outcomes between cases. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, we describe different ways of utilizing context in an envisioned decision support system. Thereby, we distinguish between internal and external context usage, possibilities of context representation, and context inheritance. Second, we present a systematically developed context model comprised of five types of context information, namely organization, product, stakeholder, development method & technology, and market & business. Third, we exemplary illustrate the relation of the context information to architectural decision making using existing literature.
架构决策支持的上下文模型
开发高效和有效的决策支持包括确定减少重复手工工作的方法,并提供利用在以前的决策情况中获得的经验的可能性。为了实现这一点,需要显式地对决策案例的上下文进行建模,例如,确定一个决策案例中的证据在另一个类似的上下文中可以信任多少。在早期的工作中,语境在案例之间的转移和理解结果时被认为是重要的。本文的贡献有三个方面。首先,我们描述了在设想的决策支持系统中利用上下文的不同方法。因此,我们区分了内部和外部上下文的使用、上下文表示的可能性和上下文继承。其次,我们提出了一个由组织、产品、利益相关者、开发方法和技术、市场和业务五类上下文信息组成的系统开发的上下文模型。第三,我们利用现有文献举例说明了上下文信息与建筑决策的关系。
