VIRTUAL MODELING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION SUPPORT

Qualitative Modeling for Environmental Decision Support

For the support of analysis and decision making in the environmental domain, we propose a knowledge-based system with explicit representation of expertise in the domain and the specific ecosystem in the form of qualitative dynamic models. The choice of qualitative modeling techniques is motivated by the very nature of the processes examined, the available information and style of reasoning empl...

Artificial-Intelligence-based Modeling for Environmental Applications and Decision Support

What we call “environment” or environmental systems is the natural world (or sections thereof) including humans and the artifacts they create. Environmental systems are complex systems, comprising a large number of interacting objects, substances, and processes which are subject to different specialized areas of science, such as biology, chemistry, hydrology, meteorology, and, when it comes to ...

Decision Support for Environmental Management

Environmental Decision Support Systems

Environmental Studies and Artificial Intelligence are both of strategic interest. Both areas can provide society with nice solutions for many real applications, in order to protect the environment. The encounter between these fields is a new challenge for many researchers of both communities. In the foreword of the Environmental Science and Engineering for the 21st Century report [6], we can re...

Decision support system for virtual organization management

The Decision Support System (DSS) for Virtual Organization Management is a component of the Virtual Organization (VO) management toolkit, which is being developed in the ECOLEAD project. The DSS mainly supports VO operational and strategic management by simulated rescheduling and reconfiguration of a VO. Such simulations allow “what-if-analysis”, verifying and comparing various configurations a...
