An Overall Identification of Joint Research Proposal
to SUNY, USA

The following proposals have been recently given as to the joint
research activities between Ekonomska fakulteta Borisa Kidriča
(Ljubljana) and SUNY (New York):

1. a methodology of optimal economic fusion and optimal design.
of business organisations

2. a multidimensiona] assignment problem

3. a multidimensional data base

4. a computer-oriented international economic relations modeling

5. continuously adaptive on-line manag ement and control of miero-

economic systems

This group of researcn items belongs to the field of informatics
in economics, or, more precisely, to the field of computer assis- :
ted support in decision making and problem solving. In extension, UE
a series of preliri!inary research projects have identified these

key problems in the field of economics, business and organisation.

They are based on the through examination of tne relevant up to
date literature and matehed to real life physionomy of these prob-
lems in practice. The results of preliminary studies and tests
are encouraging enough to set about the systematic study, deve-
lopment and implementation of the results followed in the spirit
of the following guide-lines:

- decisions in general snould be based on more than one single

information;

- the classical causality principle (determinism) should be repla-
ced by the generalized causality principle (stochasticity) and
even by that of ultrastmhasticity (ehaos);
