A COM-based Spatial Decision Support System for Industrial Site Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industrial site selection is a complex process for owners and analysts. The process involves not only technical requirements, but also economical, social, environmental and political demands that may result in conflicting objectives. Because of the compound nature of the process, it requires simultaneous use of several decision support tools such as expert systems (ES), geographic information systems (GIS), and multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. This poses the challenge of integrating these decision support tools. Although current integration techniques such as loose and tight coupling have achieved considerable success, they have many limitations. To alleviate these limitations, this study used Component Object Model (COM) technology in designing a decision support system for industrial site selection. The use of the presented system was illustrated using real regional data that is maintained by a state agency.
