Prototyping an intelligent decision support system for improving urban infrastructures management

A methodology to allow rural extension professionals to build target-specific expert systems for Australian rural business operators

“…The complete development procedure is shown in the following figure (figure 2). Figure 2: EUEDE development procedure through rapid development activities Successful application development through evolutionary prototyping has been reported in rural business (Bloom & Chung, 2001;Kerr & Winklhofer, 2005;Quintero et al, 2005). These studies suggest that the key to successful prototyping development is the user's active participation in the development phases.…”

Intelligent Techniques for Decision Support System in Human Resource Management

“…In that case, IDSS gives full control to the user regarding information acquisition, evaluation and making the final decision. IDSS is an interactive system, flexible, adaptable and specifically developed to support the solution of a non-structured management problem for improved decisionmaking (Quintero et al, 2005). Besides that, an IDSS is also known as a possible theoretical model of incorporation by adapting an existing DSS system to execute in an Expert System style, such adapted systems are considered by many DSS researchers to be IDSS with the focus on the functioning of 'man and machine' together.…”

“…An IDSS is more cognitive rather than a technological system, the fundamental difference is that even basic characteristics of intelligence cannot be captured in mechanistic (Malhotra et al, 2003). Most researchers agree that the purpose of IDSS is to support the solution of a non-structured management and enable knowledge processing with communication capabilities (Qian et al, 2004;Quintero et al, 2005). IDSS can incorporate specific domain knowledge and perform some types of intelligent behaviors, such as learning and reasoning, in order to support decision-making processes (Qian et al, 2004;Viademonte & Burstein, 2006).…”

“…Organizational Memory System (Linger & Burstein, 1998) Irrigation System (Faye et al, 1998) Environment (Seder et al, 2000) Petroleum-contaminated (Liqiang et al, 2001) Air pollution Control (Qian et al, 2004) Urban infrastructure (Quintero et al, 2005) Flood ( …”

“…These abilities are used to support the decision making processes. There are various types of intelligent techniques that are applied in IDSS applications such as knowledge base system (Quintero et al, 2005), (Adla & Zarate, 2006), (Waiman et al, 2005), (Malhotra et al, 2003), (Palma-dos-Reis & Zahedi, 1999), (Matsatsinis & Siskos, 1999), (Linger & Burstein, 1998) and (Seder et al, 2000), data warehouse (Yu, 2004), fuzzy set theory (Liqiang et al, 2001), ANN (Sajjad & Slobodan, 2006), rough set classifier (Gorzalczany & Piasta, 1999), multi agent (Kwon et al, 2005) and etc.…”
