- Towards Conceptual Multidimensional Design In Decision Support Systems
- Multidimensional databases support efficiently On-Line Analytical Processing OLAP. In this paper, we depict a model dedicated to multidimensional databases. The approach we present designs decisional information through a constellation of facts and dimensions. Each dimension is possibly shared between several facts and it is organised according to multiple hierarchies. In...

- Automation And Accountability In Decision Support System Interface Design
- When the human element is introduced into decision support system design, entirely new layers of social and ethical issues emerge but are not always recognized as such. This paper discusses those ethical and social impact issues specific to decision support systems and highlights areas that interface designers should consider during...

- A GIS-Based Decision Support System For Brownfield Redevelopment
- Rapid growth in regions surrounding large metropolitan areas leads to the phenomenon of urban sprawl. In states like Michigan, land is being converted at a rate seven times greater than formerly used and potentially contaminated sites are being redeveloped. City governments now see these unused or abandoned areas as important...

- Web-Based Multi-Criteria Group Decision Support System With Linguistic Term Processing Function
- Organizational decisions are often made in groups where group members may be distributed geographically in different locations. Furthermore, a decision-making process, in practice, frequently involves various uncertain factors including linguistic expressions of decision makers' preferences and opinions. This paper first proposes a rational-political group decision-making model which identifies three uncertain...

- The Role Of DSS Technology In Knowledge Management
- Decision making requires both information and knowledge. Information or its absence is central to decision making situations involving uncertainty and complexity, while knowledge or its absence is associated with problems of ambiguity and equivocality. This paper proposes that computer-based decision support technologies are appropriate to supporting decision making under conditions...
