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...; Tags: Constellation, Decision Support System, Data Mining, Databases, Tools & Techniques, Storage, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management, Management, Hardware; White papers

Development Of An Integrated decision support system For Water Quality Control: Compared to the limited water supply in the Middle East, Lebanon is perceived to be a water rich country. Yet, it faces a growing water supply problem due to many factors including increases in demand, inadequate investment in infrastructure, and deterioration of water quality. Being the foremost water resource in...; Tags: Tools & Techniques, Databases, Lebanon, decision support system, quality control; White papers 2006-05-19
Designing Usable decision support systems For HVM: In High Volume Manufacturing HVM, system control is shared between automation and human workers. The social organisation of workers plays an important role in supporting human decisions. Advances in the application of automation to a system, may change the social organisation associated with its operation. It establishes new work roles...; Tags: Decision Support System, Worker, Automation, Cognitive Work Analysis, Tools & Techniques, Databases, Management, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-05-12
A Framework For Developing A Knowledge-Based decision support system For Management Of Variation Orders: This paper describes the framework for developing a Knowledge-Based Decision Support System KBDSS for making more informed decisions for managing variation orders in institutional buildings. The KBDSS framework consists of two main components, i.e., a knowledge base and a decision support shell. The database will be developed through collecting data...; Tags: Data mining, Tools & Techniques, Databases, decision support, shell, knowledge base, knowledge, database, survey, technique; White papers 2006-05-10
Ethical Considerations For The Development Of decision support systems: Decision Support Systems can have both positive and negative effects on ethical medical practice. The increase in the doctor's and the patient's knowledge have a positive effect on autonomy; in contrast where knowledge is withheld, either by not being presented by the DSS, or by the doctor not passing on...; Tags: Knowledge, Decision Support System, Tools & Techniques, Databases, Management, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-03-13
Power Issues In G2G e-Government Applications: This paper addresses a type of wicked problem in the design of information systems in the context of G2G e-Government information systems. These problems, called power issues, have all of the characteristics of wicked problems; however, they are differentiated from them because their roots are based in power. The Power...; Tags: Tools & Techniques, Databases, decision support system, e-government, information system; White papers 2006-03-01
