the paper presents a multi-factor decision-making approach for prioritizing failure modes as an alternative to traditional approach of failure mode and effect analysis (fmea). the approach is based on the ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’ (topsis). the priority ranking is formulated on the basis of six parameters (failure occurrence, non-detection, maintainability...

“In this article we propose an approach for a decision support system (DSS) based on Knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD). In such system, user must be involved throughout the decision-making process. In consequence we propose the integration of a Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) model into the development of DSS process based on KDD. The approach we propose is based on two systems developm...

Decision Support System (DSS), a query-based system meant to help decision makers to use a variety of information for decision making, plays a very vital role in sustainable growth of any country. For this very purpose it is essential to analyze the educational system because education is the only way through which people can be made aware as to how to sustain our planet. The purpose of this pa...

BACKGROUND Translating scientific evidence into daily practice is problematic. All kinds of intervention strategies, using educational and/or directive strategies, aimed at modifying behavior, have evolved, but have been found only partially successful. In this article the focus is on (computerized) decision support systems (DSSs). DSSs intervene in physicians' daily routine, as opposed to inte...

This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation of the impact of Decision Support Systems on small group decision effectiveness. The study is conducted in the context of the Business Management Laboratory. Two production function modules from Wolfe’s Business Management Laboratory Decision Support System (BMLDSS) were utilized to aid decision making by all treatment groups. Result...

Developing computer-interpretable clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to provide decision support for guideline-based care is an extremely labor-intensive task. In the EON/ATHENA and SAGE projects, we formulated substantial portions of CPGs as computable statements that express declarative relationships between patient conditions and possible interventions. We developed query and expression lan...

1.1 basic concepts of Spatial Decision-making System Geographical Information System (GIS) is a new subject which rose in the 1960s, and is combined with computer science and geographic information science, and is also a technology system, it analyzes and manages geographic data contains spatial information using system engineering and information science theory under the support of software an...

Web-based information systems are increasingly being used for decision support applications. However few empirical studies have been conducted on web-based decision support systems (DSS). This experimental research endeavors to understand factors that impact decision-making satisfaction in web based decision support systems. Using structural equation modeling approach, the analysis reveals that...

A great number of studies have been done on decision support systems. There is no work done on how a machine can intelligently help a decision maker in making appropriate choice for judgmental inputs for the decision support systems. Decisional guidance is a guidance for judgmental inputs while user is interacting with a decision support system (DSS). Traditionally the guidance provided by the ...

Abstract There is an opportunity to explore synergies between training and decision support in the Tactical Decision Making Under Stress (TADMUS) program. Decision making skill appears to involve a combination of recognitional and metacognitive elements. A model of decision mak...
