Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for integrated decision support is disclosed. The method includes receiving decision inputs. The method also includes converting the received decision inputs to graph representations and mathematical representations. The method further includes decomposing the converted decision inputs to sub-problems. The method further includes detecting strongly-connected components associated with the sub-problems. The strongly-connected components represent the sub-problems that are coupled. The method further includes solving the sub-problems.
