....has a legitimate place in decision making technology, it is not a panacea for highly complex and uncertain decision scenarios. The second reason for exploring alternatives is that strict adherence to optimization inadequately describes how decisions are often made in naturalistic settings [1, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 32, 48]. The development of autonomous agents with ever increasing scopes of operation implies a commensurately increasing need to deal with circumstances where optimal performance requirements are subordinated to requirements for reliability, functionality, and robustness in uncertain and changing ....
....the presence of complexity and uncertainty is not sufficient motivation to jettison the superlative y An alternative notion of binary ordering appears in [2] 6 paradigm in favor of an alternative. To justify such a step, we argue that so doing produces a potentially compensating benefit. Slote [32] defends the rationality of making deliberately moderate cognitive decisions by arguing that common sense rationality differs from optimizing views of rationality (what one is advantageously able to do, one is required to do) analogously to the way common sense morality differs from utilitarian ....

Production technologies and flexible specialization Piore [8, 10] describes the on going transformation of industrial production systems towards greater variety and flexibility as a four stage evolution 3 . The products in such systems are comprised of both independent and interdependent design features; changes in design features mark the different ....

....seeks an optimal solution is operating under the superlative paradigm. This paradigm is often challenged, however, since it is well known that people are poor optimizers, and strict adherence to the optimization paradigm inadequately describes how decisions are often made in naturalistic settings [15, 3, 5, 17, 8, 4, 1, 6, 7]. Furthermore, the superlative paradigm is very rigid. It requires that sufficient information be available to guarantee that the optimal solution can be identified; if the information is not sufficient, no decision can be reached. Epistemic utility theory does not fit the superlative paradigm, ....
