INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF VISUAL MODELING AND PROCESSING TERNARY GESCHTALT-RANKINGS

Abstract

The new information technology based on the visualization of ternary gestalt-ranking and their subsequent computer processing has been developed. Under Gestalt-ranking means the simultaneous presentation for decision-maker of several alternatives for their visual comparison with the activation of the rapid system of intuitive thinking. It was concluded that decision-makers can confident and reliably operate at the same time with three alternatives and compare them at three levels, that is, to carry out ternary three-level gestalt rankings. The main stages are described and applied aspects of application of this information technology are analyzed. The information technology of visual modeling and processing of ternary gestalt-rankings is not designed to provide any questions to the decision-maker and does not require any information from him in numerical or verbal form. During each ternary-gestalt ranking, three alternatives are visualized, which decision-maker must place on the circle of advantages: the higher the quality of the alternative, the closer to the center of the circle of advantages it is necessary to position it. This increases the efficiency of using fast intuitive thinking of decision-maker with the use of visual information and visual memory. The work of the computer program is demonstrated and the basic and additional features of this information visual modeling technology are presented on an example of the choice of the programming language for the implementation of software product. The created computer program can be used as an effective detection of preferences tool for solving many practical tasks of decision making with target and criteria uncertainty.
