Using a case study approach, this study investigates the issues of IT management in a public university in Malaysia, called The University. Findings indicate that The University lacks of common approach to decisionmaking or forum for making comprehensive assessments of IT plan and funding strategy. Campus information system was developed in an uncoordinated manner, reflecting interests of diffe...

This paper describes a decision support system based on GIS and satellite remote sensing analysis. Damage triggered by the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu Earthquake was detected using NDVI from SPOT images and texture analysis. Then the emergency transportation route was selected by a cost-based GIS analysis. As the result of the analysis, large-scale damage could be detected with high accuracy. From...

Thunderstorm-related delays dominate the overall U.S. airspace delay statistics and continue to increase (Figure 1), even though a number of new weather information systems and air traffic management (ATM) decision support tools have been deployed since 1999. The FAA is also concerned that anticipated increases in air traffic will result in much worse convective weather season delays by 2014 (H...

The damage caused by recent events in Japan in 2011 and USA in 2012 highlighted the need to adopt measures to increase the resilience of communities against extreme events and disasters. In addition to the conventional and official information that is necessary for adaptation to disasters, recently, common citizens residents in the affected areas also began contributing with voluntary qualified...

Research on decision support systems (DSS)/executive information systems (EIS) has been primarily concerned with the behavioral aspect of managerial work and has largely ignored the cognitive aspect of decision support. Rather than focusing on the manager’s information need on ‘‘critical success factors’’ and the need for supporting specific decision making, this research emphasizes the need to...

paper presents an intelligent decision support system (DSS) for facilitating the adoption of the most appropriate multicriteria analysis (MA) method in solving the information systems (IS) project evaluation and selection problem. A knowledge base consisting of IF-THEN production rules is developed for assisting with a systematic adoption of the most appropriate MA method through considering th...
