We propose a Spatial Decision Support System (DSS) designed for planners and policy makers which will help them develop effective policy interventions for more liveable and sustainable cities. The DSS will be based on novel high resolution urban simulation models augmented with tools capable of measuring and distinguishing sustainability levels as well as tools that support the decision maker i...

A prototype decision support system (DSS) was developed to enhance Navy tactical decision making based on naturalistic decision processes. Displays were developed to support critical decision making tasks through recognition-primed and explanation-based reasoning processes, and cognitive analysis was conducted of the decision making problems faced by Navy tactical officers in a shipboard Combat...

In this paper, we propose novel decision support system (DSS) named OPEC-DSS to support OPEC’s decisions on oil production level. OPEC-DSS is based on two important factors in oil prices; the first is OPEC oil production level (OPEC-PL) and the second is USA oil imports level (USA-IL). The OPEC-DSS support the analysers and decision-makers in three following issues: 1) OPEC-DSS can propose the ...

Past studies suggested that decision support systems (DSS) must be an “enabling” system aiming to enhance users’ capabilities and to leverage their skills and intelligence. This suggests that users be the center of DSS and users’ characteristics be an important factor of explaining their DSS acceptance behavior. Since DSS are aimed to work in semi-structured and unstructured task environment, p...

Introduction We seem to be on the verge of another “era” in the relentless advancement of computer based information systems in organizations. Designated by the term Decision Support Systems (DSS), these systems are receiving reactions ranging from “a major breakthrough” to “just another ‘buzz word’.” One view is that the natural evolutionary advancement of information technology and its use in...

A decision support system (DSS) plays an important role in accurately determining optimal solutions or decisions in a variety of ways, including the activity of selecting most appropriate major for prospective students. This work aims to develop a computer-based DSS the most appropriate major using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based on the following determinant variables, the f...
