On the Complexity of Requirements Engineering for Decision-Support Systems: The CID Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chagas Disease is classified as a life-threatening disease by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is currently causing death to 534,000 people every year. In order to advance with the disease control, the WHO presented a strategy that included the development of the Chagas Information Database (CID) for surveillance to raise awareness about Chagas. CID is defined as a decision support system to support national and international authorities in both their day-by-day and long-term decision making. The requirements engineering to develop this project was particularly complex and the Pohl’s Framework was followed. This paper describes the results of applying the framework in this project. Thus, it focuses on the requirements engineering stage. The difficulties found motivated the further study and analysis of the complexity of requirements engineering in Decision Support Systems and the feasibility of using said framework.

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...

متن کاملFlexible resource management and its effect on project cost and duration
In practice, most projects result in cost overruns and schedule slippage due to poor resource management. This paper presents an approach that aims at reducing project duration and costs by empowering project managers to assess different scenarios. The proposed approach addresses combinatorial modes for tasks, multi-skilled resources, and multiple calendars for resources. A case study reported ...
