objective: interest in the subject of creativity and its impacts on human life is growing extensively. however, only a few surveys pay attention to the relation between creativity and physiological changes. this paper presents a novel approach to distinguish between creativity states from electrocardiogram signals. nineteen linear and nonlinear features of the cardiac signal were extracted to d...

Because a decision-support system for applying a multi-objective strategy such as shape, respond, and prepare now necessarily implies methods that have generally not been used by DoD decisionmakers (for a variety of good reasons related to complexity and the fuzziness of many analyses reflecting subjective judgments explicitly), it is useful to provide some background on DynaRank’s development ...

The study presents a decision support system, called path marketing analysis, which can help managers to utilize their market knowledge and experience to develop more effective market share growth plans in mature business markets. Through treating marketing mix elements in a hierarchical fashion, the approach identifies key drivers of market share change and then uses this information to uncove...

Adoption of clinical decision support (CDS) systems leads to improved clinical performance through improved clinician decision making, adherence to evidence-based guidelines, medical error reduction, and more efficient information transfer and to reduction in health care disparities in under-resourced settings. However, little information on CDS use in the community health care (CHC) setting ex...

Research on electronic systems to support negotiations began in the 1980s as an extension to the concept of decision support systems. Early research on negotiation support systems (NSS), for example, Ref. [1], focused on the multiperson aspect of negotiations and the possibilities of information technology to connect parties across time and space. The latter aspect gained importance with the ri...

The focus of this work is clinico-genomic decision support system for better diagnosing and managing chronic diseases. We propose a clinical decision support system for early diagnosis of chronic diseases(such as arthritis, Diabetes, Cardio Vascular Disease) and better disease management. We propose a generalizable framework, which can accommodate several distinct features coming into the syste...

While a variety of information technology (IT) acceptance and use models have been extensively examined and validated in numerous contexts, most studies have been conducted in western cultures, and thus not much is known about the probable moderating role of culture on the relationships between the constructs in those models. To fill this gap in the literature, we propose to empirically investi...

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are typically constructed from expert knowledge and are often reliant on inputs that are difficult to obtain and on tacit knowledge that only experienced clinicians possess. Research described in this article uses empirical results from a clinical trial of a CDSS with a decision model based on expert knowledge to show that there are differences in how cl...
