Integrating Decision-Making Support in Geocollaboration Tools

Visually-enabled Geocollaboration to Support Data Exploration & Decision-making

Current mapping and related geospatial technologies are not designed to support group work and we have a limited theoretical or practical basis from which to extend (or reinvent) technologies for group use of geospatial information. To address the challenge of supporting group work with geospatial information, we have developed a comprehensive conceptual approach to geocollaboration and are app...

Decision-Support Planning and Tools: Planning to Support Decision-Making

As the Army increases its focus on decisive action, more units are emphasizing decision-support templates and matrices as part of the planning process. Unfortunately, these tools have only minimally impacted tactical decision-making and mission outcomes because leaders are using these tools as another synchronization tool rather than focusing on decision points. When used correctly, decision-su...

Integrating Constrained Cellular Automata Models, GIS and Decision Support Tools for Urban Planning and Policy Making

In this paper we present a Decision Support System developed to assist urban planners and policy makers to simulate and analyse alternative urban layouts, land uses, and growth patterns. The core of the system is a modelling and simulation shell allowing the user to specify Constrained Cellular Automata models of urban and regional systems. Unlike conventional Cellular Automata, these are defin...

Web 2.0 Tools to Support Decision Making in Enterprise Contexts

Nowadays Web 2.0 provides users a unique framework not only to find information but also to express their opinions and collaborate and interact in real time. Web 2.0 includes applications such as blogs, wikis, RSS, pod-casting, mashups, and social networks. These applications aggregate the collective intelligence of millions of users and therefore new tools to develop decision making processes ...
