§ Model-driven research
● Abstract representation of the decision problem
(conceptual model)
● Development of scientific model for the problem
§ Approaches
● Mathematical modelling & optimization
● Analysis mostly mathematical
● Exact and heuristic approaches (optimal and
near-optimal / ‘good enough’ solutions)
● Computer simulation
● Also requires solid experimental design and
statistical analysis (comparing alternatives)
