COST Action IC0602 on Algorithmic Decision Theory

International Doctoral School

Applying Decision Analysis to Real Problems


Manchester Business School, 
10th to 13th April 2011

http://research.mbs.ac.uk/decision-science/Newsandevents.aspx


Final Call:  A handful of places remain.  Please note that early career researchers as well as doctoral students may apply.


INTRODUCTION

Manchester Business School and the School of Computer Sciences at Manchester University will be holding a doctoral school in Manchester from Sunday 10th to Wednesday 13th April 2011 to explore the processes of applying decision analysis in practice.  Attendees will be introduced to some theory, particularly behavioural and similar theories which are often absent from mathematical and algorithmic presentations of decision analysis; but the majority of the course will focus on practical exercises and case studies.  Our aim will be to introduce participants to the range of skills that real application requires.

CONTENT OF THE DOCTORAL SCHOOL

The Doctoral School will offer the following lectures and activities

*  Introductory session surveying decision analysis and introducing terminology and models to be used in the School;
*  Lectures including demonstrations and break-out sessions on 
    -  individual and group decision behaviours,
    -  decision processes and how to support them in a variety of contexts, 
    -  the quality of decision making in organisations;
*  Case studies of applications of decision analysis in domains such as
    -  Environmental planning,
    -  Energy planning,
    -  Organisational strategic decision making,
    -  Supply chain risk;
* Exercises using decision analytic software, designed particularly to develop modelling and interpretation skills
* An extensive group exercise based around a realistically complex scenario in which the students would experience the process of decision analysis and explore the ways in which it may bring insight;
* Discussion and reflections on their doctoral research topics and the way in which some of the learning from the course may be introduced in these.

LOCATION

Manchester is a major UK city with extensive transport connections including an international airport.  The North West region has much history, particularly in relation to the Industrial Revolution.  There are many areas of outstanding natural beauty in easy reach: the Peak District, the Cheshire Plain, the Lake District and North Wales.  The city itself is vibrant with many attractions and entertainments.

LENGTH OF COURSE

The course will begin on the afternoon of Sunday 10th April and continue until the afternoon of Wednesday April 13th, 2011. There will be a social outing/event on the evening of the second day.

ACCOMMODATION

Accommodation is not included in the package offered to participants.   There are many hotels and hostels within walking distance of MBS and accommodation at these can be very cheap if various promotional offers are taken.  During the months of January and February such offers are available over the Internet.  Thus participants are advised to book early to take advantage of these.  We will provide a list of such hotels and hostels upon accepting the students onto the course.

There are also some funds available to offer some limited support to some, but not all of the participants.
