Abstract Participatory decision tools enable stakeholders to reconcile conflicting natural resources management objectives. Fisheries targeting highly productive species can have profound impacts on co-occurring bycatch with low fecundity and other life history traits that make them vulnerable anthropogenic sources of mortality. This study developed a tool for integrated data-limited data-rich ...

Decision Support Systems (DSS) have a great role in assisting decision makers in many organizations to identify and solve problems in order to make decisions. In the area of database management, many approaches have been used to automate procedures set for complex activities such as performance and database recovery. However, procedures need to be contextualized in order to take into account th...

Today, information and timely decisions are crucial for an organization’s success. A decision support system (DSS) is a software tool that provides information allowing its users to make decisions timely and cost effectively. This is highly conditioned by the quality of the data involved, usually stored in a data warehouse, and by a sound and complete requirements analysis. In this chapter we s...

Model management is a research area in decision support systems (DSS). Current research trends emphasize the specification of decision models at the conceptual level rather than their detailed implementation. Several approaches have been proposed for the conceptual specification of model management systems (MMS). However, these methods lack the design theory for the discovery of the inheritance...

In the framework of the LANDSLIDE project has been fulfilled field work on the test areas in Bulgaria, Italy, Poland and Greece. The project goal is to create a software tool helping the decision makers in cases of landslides with up to 20m depth which can estimate the soil movement by calculating soil moisture and meteorological data conditions which in the literature are considered asmain tri...

This paper describes a model-driven decision-support system (software tool) implementing a model-based methodology for on-line leakage detection and localization which is useful for a large class of water distribution networks. Given that model-based leakage localization methods present a certain degree of complexity which limits their use to people with a high expertise in this modelling field...

When applied to complex environments, planning and scheduling problems can require human intervention for taking major decisions. The user(s) should have at all time an overview of the current stage of the process, should be able to simulate future executions and to explore the consequences of \what-if" hypotheses. We believe that information technology can play a useful role as a support for c...
