Production scheduling is an important decision-making process that has embraced technology as computers and information systems became cheaper and easier to use. The history of production scheduling is not one of replacing human decision-makers with algorithms, however. This paper provides a historical perspective on the decision support tools that have been developed to improve production sche...

this paper describes the development of a fuzzy decision support system (fdss) for the assessment of risk in e-commerce (ec) development. a web-based prototype fdss is suggested to assist ec project managers in identifying potential ec risk factors and the corresponding project risks. a risk analysis model for ec development using a fuzzy set approach is proposed and incorporated into the fdss....

internet applications spreading and its high usage popularity result insignificant increasing of cyber-attacks. consequently, network security has becomea matter of importance and several methods have been developed for these attacks.for this purpose, intrusion detection systems (ids) are being used to monitor theattacks occurred on computer networks. data mining techniques, machinelearning, ne...

introduction: studies have indicated a global high prevalence of hospital malnutrition on admission and during hospitalization. clinical nutritional risk screen (cnrs) is a way to identify malnutrition and manage nutritional interventions. several traditional and non-computer based tools have been suggested for screening nutritional risk levels. the present study was an attempt to employ a comp...

Development and use of remediation technologies for contaminated soils and water progresses at a very fast pace and thus a large number of cleanup alternatives emerge. The selection of the most appropriate Remediation technology for the given site must be based on many, usually conflicting, criteria. To successfully apply all these criteria a multicriteria decision support system (DSS) is neede...

This paper adopts a cognitive theory of analogy and applies it to the design of decision support systems. The approach, called structure mapping, captures the conceptual structure of a C2 problem in the graphical features of a visual display. The result is a visualization that supports decision making better than standard mappings of geospatial information. As an example we present a system des...

Integrated IT-management has been a challenging research topic for several years now. However, integrated management of today’s large-scale, dynamic, and multiorganizational IT-systems is still in its infancy. To overcome the difficulties management solutions for such environments have either been re-done from scratch or simply ignored. It would be desirable to re-use well-established managemen...
