Valuation Links: Formally Extending the Computational Power of Hypertext

We view hypertext as an inherently dynamic concept to incorporate in the interface of dynamic information systems. What challenges does hypertext face in a constantly changing environment? In this paper, we discuss the benefits and the problems we face in our research into hypertext-oriented decision support systems. Then we focus on a new hypertext construct beneficial to this domain: valuatio...

RFID-based decision support within maintenance management of urban tunnel systems

Efficiently, tracking information related to components, materials and equipment from the production/construction phase to operation and maintenance is a challenge in the industries. The industry environment is a natural fit for generating and utilizing instance-level data for decision support. Advanced electronic identification and data storage technologies e.g. radio frequency identification ...

Using Advanced Computer Technologies to Increase Extension Effectiveness

Recent advances in microcomputerbased products provide Extension with the opportunity to revise and to update historic delivery systems. Decision support systems furnish Extension professionals, consultants, allied industries, and producers with a new resource to solve problems.

Measuring the Effectiveness of Hypertext In Decision Support

Hypertext is an emerging technology that has not been researched adequately, particularly in organizations that utilize decision support technologies. This paper suggests that developing a set of dependent variables to measure effectiveness of hypertext in decision support is an important first step in a program of research. A review of empirical hypertext research is presented followed by a di...
