The objective of the special issue is to introduce a new theme, the use of game theory and decision theory in reliability analysis and risk analysis. The special issue aims to bring together novel research from disciplines that have the potential to contribute to this theme, including (but not limited to) economics, engineering, finance, mathematics, medical sciences, military sciences, probability, and statistics. Papers must tackle a problem in risk or reliability using the tools of decision theory or game theory (or both). The issue will not only consider papers presented at the Second Symposium on Games and Decisions in Reliability and Risk, to be held at the Hotel Villa Carlotta, Belgirate (VB), Lake Maggiore, Italy, May 19–21, 2011 (http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/gdrr11.html), but will also be open to the public for submission of papers relevant to the theme. The deadline for submission of papers is April 25, 2011. Papers limited to 12 double-spaced pages (including references and figures/tables) should be submitted at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/deca and should follow the Decision Analysis author submission guidelines given at http://www.informs.org/Pubs/DA/ Submission-Guidelines. All submissions will go through the standard review process of Decision Analysis. Submitting authors should indicate their desire to be considered for the special issue in the cover letter to Editor-in-Chief L. Robin Keller, completed during the submission process. Technical questions about submissions may be directed to Managing Editor Kelly M. Kophazi (kelly.kophazi@informs.org). For more information about the special issue, please contact:

The author provides a comment to the companion literature review, focusing on clinical applications of decision analysis. The theory and application of clinical decision analysis has decreased in the management science and operations research literature, but has become a field in and of itself, with contributions to the medical and analytical communities. Decision scientists should be aware of methodological contributions in the health decision science literature.

This paper looks into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of the field of the applications based on DA techniques; focusing especially on MAVT. The need for best practices and bias-resistant analysis procedures is pointed out. In most application papers there are no reports on the verification or testing of the procedures used. The Internet provides great opportunities in the delivery of DA software and e-learning material. Public sites such as Decisionarium (www.decisionarium.hut.fi) provide encouragement and a low entry level to try value tree analysis in new applications. There are also great opportunities in reaching out the other MCDA communities such as AHP practitioners. Today the need and demand for decision support is perhaps growing most rapidly in environmental problems. A clear trend is also the integration of DA into GIS and other models. Many of the applications are now published in non-OR/MS subject area journals.

D. Keefer, C. Kirkwood, J. Corner
Our article "Perspective on Decision Analysis Applications, 1990--2001" provides a comprehensive listing of decision analysis applications published between 1990 and 2001 in the 16 journals that we surveyed and uses this together with results from a previous survey to identify, and provide perspective on, trends and developments in decision analysis applications. Cantor (2004) and HA¤mA¤lA¤inen (2004) provide useful comments and additional references that supplement the material in our article, and we agree with many of their comments. However, we do not agree with their view that our definition of "decision analysis" is too restrictive. We believe that, after 35 years, the core of decision analysis is now well established and that we have used the generally understood definition in selecting the applications included in our article.
