TL;DR

Ruefli's Generalized Goal Decomposition Model does not allow one to interpret the solution routine as a decentralized process with respect to information processing and decision making, and it is shown how the application of a partitioning algorithm within RueFLi's framework can overcome these interpretation shortcomings.

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to show that Ruefli's Generalized Goal Decomposition Model does not allow one to interpret the solution routine as a decentralized process with respect to information processing and decision making. It is then shown how the application of a partitioning algorithm within Ruefli's framework can overcome these interpretation shortcomings.
