Scenario analysis to support decision making in addressing wicked problems: Pitfalls and potential

Scenario modelling to support industry strategic planning and decision making

The Pastoral Properties Futures Simulator (PPFS) is a dynamic systems model, developed within a participatory action research partnership with the pastoral industry of Australia’s Northern Territory. The model was purpose-built to support the industry’s strategic planning capacity in the face of environmental, market and institutional uncertainty. The mediated modelling process sought to maximi...

Scenario Driven Decision Support

Though traditional DSS provide strong data management, modelling and visualisation capabilities for the decision maker, they do not explicitly support scenario management appropriately. Systems that purport to support scenario planning are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. This research presents a life cycle approach for scenario management...

Biogas utilization is a one of these promising options that can mitigate these problems since biogas is produced by the fermentation of waste, so is rich in methane and has the same characteristics as natural gas. Biogas has increasingly been noticed in different co...
