1. INTRODUCTION In the Spring of 1975 we held an international
workshop on the Foundations and Application of Decision Theory at
the University of Western Ontario. To help structure the workshop
into ordered and manageable sessions we distri buted the following
statement of our goals to all invited participants. They in turn
responded with useful revisions and suggested their own areas of
interest. Since this procedure provided the eventual format of the
sessions, we include it here as the most appropriate introduction
to these collected papers result ing from the workshop. The reader
can readily gauge the approximation to our mutual goals. 2.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND RATIONALE (Attached to this statement
is a bibliography; names of persons cited in the statement and
writing in this century will be found referenced in the biblio
graphy - certain 'classics' aSide. ) 2. 1. Preamble We understand
in the following the Theory of Decisions in a broader sense than is
presently customary, construing it to embrace a general theory of
decision-making, including social, political and economic theory
and applica tions. Thus, we subsume the Theory of Games under the
head of Decision Theory, regarding it as a particularly clearly
formulated version of part of the general theory of
decision-making."
