W study the process by which model-based decision support systems (DSSs) influence managerial decision making in the context of marketing budgeting and resource allocation. We focus on identifying whether and how DSSs influence the decision process (e.g., cognitive effort deployed, discussion quality, and decision alternatives considered) and, as a result, how these DSSs influence decision outc...

Our research is devoted to development of information infrastructure for e-service semiautomatic provision by using distributed data warehouses (DWs) of water protection domain. Development of software for semi-automatic service provision is based on artificial planner and structure of goals adapted for specialized needs of end users. Such e-service preparation mechanism can work under the unif...

With the explosive growth of data stored in digital format, there is a need for a new approach to data storage. Large amount of stored data requires modern storage systems to be scalable and easily extendable on-line. Moreover, the data must be resilient and highly available, which in turn requires failure-tolerant and highly available storage. To address these needs a new storage segment calle...

1.The development of DSS Decision support systems (DSS) are interactive, computer-based systems helping decision-makers (individuals and/or groups) to solve various semistructured and unstructured problems involving multiple attributes, objectives, and goals[2]. With the development of information technologies and the changes of application envorionment , DSS has evolved over the past few decad...

INTRODUCTION Little stress has been placed on patients' satisfaction with regard to management of erectile dysfunction (ED) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and on how physicians' and patients' views may differ in this respect. AIM To assess the extent to which urologists' perceptions of their patients' expectations and the actual needs expressed by these patients coincide with regard to ED a...

A wide variety of specific Decision Support Systems have been and can be built using Internet and Web technologies. This paper was focused and developed application of water DSS (Building Web-based and Inter organizational Decision Support Systems for water management). This paper aims at presenting an application for decisions in ecosystem analysis. We consider contemporary Decision Support Sy...

We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...

Using distributed hydrological models to evaluate the effectiveness of reducing non-point source pollution by applying best management practices (BMPs) is an important support to decision making for watershed management. However, complex interfaces and time-consuming simulations of the models have largely hindered the applications of these models. We designed and developed a prototype web-based...

Traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) provide strong data management, modelling and visualisation capabilities for the decision maker but they do not explicitly support scenario management appropriately. Systems that purport to support scenario planning are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. We introduce scenario as a core component of ...
