addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. development of decision support systems (dsss) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. this paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...

Typical Intelligent Decision Support System is 4-based, its design composes of Data Warehouse, Online Analytical Processing, Data Mining and Decision Supporting based on models, which is called Decision Support System Based on Data Warehouse (DSSBDW). This way takes ETL,OLAP and DM as its implementing means, and integrates traditional model-driving DSS and data-driving DSS into a whole. For thi...

The key of an effective management of enterprises is applying intelligent software tools to define decision analysis process, from data acquisition to recommended action, including an adaptive feedback. Decision support systems (DSS) have multiple data sources that contain valuable information that must be integrated and processed to allow the key business processes to have adaptive business in...

This study investigates the changing intellectual structure of the decision support system (DSS) field by means of an empirical assessment of the DSS literature over two successive time periods, 1971-1990 and 1991-1995. A multivariate data analysis tool, cluster analysis, is applied to an author cocitation frequency matrix derived from a large database file of comprehensive DSS literature over ...

This study investigates the contributions of artificial intelligence to the development of decision support systems research subspecialties. Author cocitation analysis was applied to an author cocitation frequency matrix derived from a comprehensive database of the DSS literature (1970-1995) to uncover twelve clusters consisting of six major areas of DSS research (foundations, group DSS, model ...

Recent advances in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care data systems have greatly increased access to operational pharmacy information. This article presents a brief guide to VA pharmacy data sources: the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture files, the Pharmacy Benefits Management database, Decision Support System (DSS) National Data Extracts for inpatient ...

The development of a decision support system (DSS) to inform policy making has been progressing rapidly. This paper presents a generic framework and the development steps of a decision tool prototype of geographic information systems (GIS)-based decision support system of river health diagnosis (RHD-DSS). This system integrates data, calculation models, and human knowledge of river health statu...
