Abstract
Software engineers, using decision theory to make design choices, can
improve their selections if they rely on outside expertise to reduce
the uncertainty in their objectives. However, integrating specialized
expertise presents another set of problems. This paper presents two
challenges to using decision theory in selecting security technologies.
