I know that I have an eating disorder... I starve myself for weeks eating as little as possible, then stuff myself to the point where I am sick. I want to know where I can go, through e-mail or over the internet, to talk to someone anonymously. I am too embarrassed to tell anyone around me. I realize how bad this is because of how it is affecting my life and happiness. I am trying to reach out....

This article presents decision support system (DSS) guidelines for water resources planning and management in systems with multiple objectives, multiple disciplines, and multiple decision makers. The guidelines are based on experience with DSS development in Africa, Europe, and the US. A prototype DSS for water resources planning in the Nile Basin is also described. The article advocates that t...

Decision-making in water resources management is widely acknowledged in literature to be a rational process, based on appropriate information and modelling results. Traditional approaches to decision-making focus mainly on the generation and evaluation of alternatives, given a present state and a desirable state. The alternatives are considered as means by which to reduce the differences betwee...

The success of case-based design aids depends both on the case-based reasoning processes they apply and on e€ectively integrating those processes into the larger task context: on making the case-based reasoning component present case information at the right time and in the right way, on exploiting additional information resources as needed to supplement the case library and to guide case appli...

Information needs that arise when clinicians use clinical information systems often go unresolved, forcing clinicians to defer decisions or make them with incomplete knowledge. My research characterizes these needs in order to build information systems that can help clinicians get timely answers to their questions. My colleagues and I have developed "Infobuttons", which are links between clinic...

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) imposes a new approach to water resource management in the EU states. Uncertainty surrounding its implementation, however, could badly affect the achievement of the objectives set by the Directive. Although not directly linked to a set of techniques to deal with it, the WFD and accompanying guideline documents identify uncertainty as a factor likely to play a...
