Abstract

Problems of decision and optimization are of an importance beyond all doubt. However, the new life plans that the current Digital Society entails compel us to clarify some aspects of the essential elements of a decision problem, and therefore also of optimization. This paper presents a formulation of a decision problem that takes into account these new parameters and, based on them, proposes new models to optimize decision making.

To Pedro, Professor Pedro Gil Álvarez,

a fine example of a scientist, an academic and a scholar,

a very human person and a friend from whom we both learned

and who we miss so much
