Soft computing-based decision support tools for spatial data

Soft computing-based decision support tools for spatial data

In many fields, due to the increasing number of automatic sensors and devices, there is an emerging need to integrate georeferenced and temporal data into decision support tools. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Geostatistics lack some functionalities for modelling and reasoning using georeferenced data. Soft computing techniques and software suited to these needs may be useful to imple...

Data mining and soft computing algorithms for decision support systems

Medical Decision Support Systems based on Soft Computing techniques

Medical Decision Support Systems (MDSS) are very important constructions that are incorporated into Intelligent Information E-Health Systems aiming to produce warnings or to consult and suggest clinical judgments either to inexperienced medical professionals or in their lighter versions to the general public through medical advisors websites. Soft Computing (SC) techniques, especially those tha...

Benefits of Decision Support using Soft Computing

General Electric’s Research Center has been using soft computing (SC) and related techniques to create decision support systems (DSS) since the early 1980’s. After fielding and maintaining multiple applications we have found many benefits from using soft computing to create knowledge based decision support applications. This chapter will describe the benefits of using SC for creating a DSS and ...

Internet-Based Spatial Decision Support Using Open Source Tools

AbstrAct In the last half decade, there has been growing interest in the concept of collaborative geographic information systems (GIS) in support of decision making, especially in the context of various domains of planning. This interest has spawned an already substantial literature in what is now becoming popularly known as public participation GIS (PPGIS) or community GIS. A central and gener...
