One way to create a relevant environment is to identify appropriate methods and models for decision-making in implementing such projects. One constructive approach to defining the usefulness of a method or a model is to constitute a matrix with rows describing the kinds of project activity (stage or phase) and columns relating to a particular method or model. The authors propose implementation of software agents that suggest, either automatically or upon request, a method or model appropriate to support decision-making in each project phase. Such advanced approach improves the capabilities of decision makers to understand the impact of a particular decision, to generate options and assess alternatives, thus improving decision-making capacity and transparency of the decision making process.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juliana Karakaneva</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Game Theoretical Modeling for Planning and Decision-Making</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">208-224</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1311-1493</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper describes the application of game theory methods to the modelling of real conflict situations.
