Abstract | Telecommunications planning is viewed as a decision problem in which a decision maker must select among several alternative telecommunication systems with different costs and performance characteristics. In some cases the decision will involve comparison of alternatives with outcomes that involve the behavioral responses of users to the system, and these responses may be difficult to measure. In other cases outcomes may only be predictable on a probabilistic basis. In all cases the decision maker needs a systematic way of expressing his values in the form of tradeoffs among the outcome dimensions. A decision framework that encompasses all of these issues is presented along with an example of its application to a hypothetical decision problem for a library system involving a tradeoff between communication line costs and user terminal costs.
