This article has been developed in the frame of an IST European Project, where Companies and Universities of several countries of Europe have collaborated. The work presents a Decision Support System (DSS) to provide help in the bidding process. Critical decisions as bid/no bid, make/buy or decision of best final proposal have been realised. The tool performs a risk analysis and it uses the res...

The objective of the following paper is to determine a quantitative approach is generic enough and able to reproduce the logical steps for the construction of tools for decision support systems. The heart of the problem is the use of simulation techniques based on the concepts of System Dynamics. A further innovation is logged in the System Dynamics is to demonstrate how an efficient technique ...

This paper concerns the design of decision support systems (DSSs) which help financial managers in evaluating proposals for strategic and long-range planning. With the proposed two-phased DSS, projects are first selected from a given pool according to greedy heuristics based on the project’s preferences as well as the project’s efficiency. Then, integer programming with an approximation algorit...

The view of decision-making that has informed most decision support systems research has been Simon’s process theory. Further, the majority DSS work has focussed on the choice phase of Simon’s model of decision-making. Decision bias theory does not focus on the choice process but considers the possibility of systematic and persistent errors in all phases of judgement and decision-making. Decisi...

This paper proposes a Fuzzy Metagraph based Knowledge representation of Decision Support System (DSS). This system will help users to make correct decision with very low risk. Fuzzy Metagraph is an emerging technique widely used for real world applications. Fuzzy Metagraph is used to form the rule base to support inference system to make correct decision. This method can be used in many real wo...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the clinical impact of computerized decision support with and without electronic access to clinical guidelines and laboratory data on antibiotic prescribing decisions. DESIGN A crossover trial was conducted of four levels of computerized decision support-no support, antibiotic guidelines, laboratory reports, and laboratory reports plus a decision...

Water management practice has benefited from the development of model-driven Decision Support Systems (DSS), and in particular those that combine simulation with single or multiple-objective optimisation tools. However, there are many performance, acceptance and adoption problems with these decision support tools caused mainly by misunderstandings between the communities of system developers an...

Human performance and reliability monitoring have become the main issue for many industries since human error ratios cannot be mitigated to the zero level and many accidents, malfunctions, and quality defects are happening due to the human in production systems. Since the human resources implement a different range of tasks, the calculation of human error probability (HEP) is complicated, and s...

The Multiple Capacitated Facility Location Problem (MCFLP) is well-known and studied in the international literature optimization problem. The geographical information data of the enterprises’ locations are usually either ignored by the modeler or entered manually in these systems. In this paper, a spatial Decision Support System (DSS) is designed and implemented enabling co-located collaborati...
