Agricultural Databases for Decision Support

Prototype for Macroeconomic Decision Support System with Spatial Databases Support

Network organized structures can be stored and subsequently represented using spatial databases. They are used in areas where the aspects connected to maps and photos are very important: weather, management of natural calamities (earthquakes, fires, cyclones, volcanoes, floods), transportation and macroeconomic fluctuations. Studying side by side several such networks may reveal new aspects tha...

A Discrete Element Model For Agricultural Decision Support

One of the main goals of precision agriculture researches is to define a suitable decision support system (DSS) for farm management with the goal of optimizing returns on inputs while preserving resources. Therefore, our long-term objective is the development of an adequate DEM model which can be adapted in the actual decision support system (DSS) to create a new model driven decision support s...

Usability of Selected Databases for Low-Resource Clinical Decision Support

BACKGROUND Smartphones are increasingly important for clinical decision support, but smartphone and Internet use are limited by cost or coverage in many settings. txt2MEDLINE provides access to published medical evidence by text messaging. Previous studies have evaluated this approach, but we found no comparisons with other tools in this format. OBJECTIVES To compare txt2MEDLINE with other da...

Binging Knowledge to Bear: Challenges for Decision Support Databases

Evaluation of Active Disks for Decision Support Databases

Growth and usage trends for large decision support databases indicate that there is a need for architectures that scale the processing power as the dataset grows. To meet this need, several researchers have recently proposed Active Disk architectures which integrate substantial processing power and memory into disk units. In this paper, we evaluate Active Disks for decision support databases. F...
