Multiscale decision-making, also referred to as multiscale decision theory (MSDT), is an approach in operations research that combines game theory, multi-agent influence diagrams, in particular dependency graphs, and Markov decision processes to solve multiscale challenges in sociotechnical systems. MSDT considers interdependencies within and between the following scales: system level, time and information. Multiscale decision theory is related to: * Multiscale modeling * Decision analysis * Cooperative distributed problem solving * Decentralized decision making
