Representation aiding for a complex, dynamic control task: Illustration of an alternative approach to decision support
نویسنده
چکیده
Representation aiding is a form of decision support that relies heavily, (although not exclusively) upon computer graphics. The goal of representation aiding is to support, rather than to replace, an individual in meeting inevitable challenges. The design of successful representation aids depends upon the tasks to be performed and characteristics of human cognition and perception. Issues in design are discussed with reference to a set of representation aids that were developed for a particularly difficult task involving the manual start-up of a nuclear reactor. The results of a research program to evaluate these representation aids are described. Finally, representation aiding is contrasted to complementary forms of decision support.

An application of principal component analysis and logistic regression to facilitate production scheduling decision support system: an automotive industry case
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...

One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...

Increasing the production rate and minimizing the related costs, while optimizing the safety measures, are nowadays’ most important tasks in the mining industry. To these ends, mechanization of mines could be applied, which can result in significant cost reductions and higher levels of profitability for underground mines. The potential of a coal mine mechanization depends on some important fact...
