A domain specific language for complex dynamic decision making

Effective decision making of organisation requires deep understanding of various organisational aspects such as its goals, structure, business-as-usual operational processes in the context of dynamic, socio-technical and uncertain business environment. Decision making approaches adopt a range of modelling and analysis techniques for effective decision making. The current state-of-practice of decision-making typically relies heavily on human experts using intuition aided by ad-hoc representation of an organisation. Existing technologies for decision making are not able to represent all constructs that are needed for effective decision making nor do they comprehensively address the analysis needs. This paper proposes a meta-model to represent organisation and decision artifacts in a comprehensive, relatable and analysable form that serves as a basis for a domain specific language (DSL) for complex dynamic decision making. The efficacy of the proposed meta-model as regards specification and analysis is evaluated using a real-life scenario.
