Data Quality Assessment Model for Improving Decision Making Process

A Process Model for Group Decision Making with Quality Evaluation

In this work it is addressed the problem of information evaluation and decision making process in Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS). A Multi-valued Extended Logic Programming language is used for imperfect information representation and reasoning. A model embodying the quality evaluation of the information, along the several stages of the decision making process, is presented. This way we g...

Making Decision Process Knowledge Explicit Using the Decision Data Model

In this paper we present an approach for mining decisions. We show that through the use of a Decision Data Model (DDM) we can make explicit the knowledge employed in decision making. We use the DDM to provide insights into the data view of a business decision process. To support our claim we introduce our complete, functional decision mining approach. First, a ‘decisionaware system’ introduces ...

Quality of data model for supporting mobile decision making

This paper describes research investigating ways in which a mobile decision support system might be implemented. Our view is that the mobile decision maker will be better supported if he/she is aware of the Quality of the Data (QoD) used in deriving the decision, and how QoD improves or deteriorates while he/she is on the move. We propose a QoD model that takes into account static and dynamic p...

I want to argue the case for the evaluative clinical sciences and the need to support a national program to assess the outcomes of medical care. For too long, and at peril to the welfare of patients and the public as well, we have neglected that essential part of medical science whose job it is to establish the validity of clinical theory and help physicians and patients reach the right decisio...
