  • Recently, we have witnessed a host of emerging tools in the management support systems (MSS) area including the data warehouse/multidimensinal databases (MDDB), data mining, on-line analytical processing (OLAP), intelligent agents, World Wide Web(WWW) technologies, the Internet, and corporate intranets. These tools are reshaping MSS developments in organizations. This article reviews a set of emerging data management technologies in the knowledge discovery in databases(KDD) process and analyzes their implications for decision support. Furthermore, today's MSS are equipped with a plethora of AI techniques (artifical neural networks, and genetic algorithms, etc) fuzzy sets, modeling by example , geographical information system(GIS), logic modeling, and visual interactive modeling (VIM) , All these developments suggest that we are shifting the corporate decision making paradigm form information-driven decision making in the1980s to knowledge-driven decision making in the 1990s.

  • Container terminals need decisions in the course of daily-24 hour and 365 day - operations, and all these decisions are inter-related. The ultimate goal of Decision Support System is to minimize ship loading/unloading time, resources used to handle the workload, and congestion on the roads inside the terminal. It is also to make the best possible use of the storage space available. Therefore, the necessity of decision support tools are emphasized to enhance the operational efficiency of container shipping terminals more, because of limits and complexity of these decisions. So, in thia paper, we draw evaluation items for Decision Support Systems and suggest optimization strategy of evaluation items which have the greatest influence on Decision Support system, that is, yard stacking allocation, RTGC deployment among blocks, and YT allocation to QCs. We also estimate the efficiency of Decision Support System design by simulation using G2 language, comparing ship loading/unloading time.

  • The review of known decision-making support systems and technologies regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation showed that currently there are no systems and technologies of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law. The paper models the decision-making support process regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation, which is a theoretical basis for the development of rules, methods and technology of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law. The paper also developed the technology of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law as a component of the Unified State Information System for Organ and Tissue Transplantation, which automatically and free of charge determines the possibility/impossibility of donation and transplantation. In the case of the possibility of donation, the admissible type of donation is also determined - over-life or after-life donation - and data about potential donor is entered in the relevant Donor Register. In the case of the possibility of transplantation, if the recipient needs a transplant of one of the paired organs or a part of the organ/tissue, then data about potential recipient are entered in the Transplantation List from both over-life and after-life donor, otherwise, if the recipient needs a transplant of a non-paired organ or both paired organs, then data about potential recipient are entered only in the Transplantation List from after-life donor.

  • This study presents an analysis of healthcare quality indicators using data mining for developing quality improvement strategies. Specifically, important factors influencing the inpatient mortality were identified using a decision tree method for data mining based on 8,405 patients who were discharged from the study hospital during the period of December 1, 2000 and January 31, 2001. Important factors for the inpatient mortality were length of stay, disease classes, discharge departments, and age groups. The optimum range of target group in inpatient healthcare quality indicators were identified from the gains chart. In addition, a decision support system was developed to analyze and monitor trends of quality indicators using Visual Basic 6.0. Guidelines and tutorial for quality improvement activities were also included in the system. In the future, other quality indicators should be analyze to effectively support a hospital-wide continuous quality improvement (CQI) activity and the decision support system should be well integrated with the hospital OCS (Order Communication System) to support concurrent review.

  • The today's decision making tasks in globalized business and manufacturing become more complex, and ill-defined, and typically multiaspect or multi-discipline due to many influencing factors. The requirement of obtaining fast and reliable decision solutions further complicates the task. Intelligent decision support system (DSS) currently exhibit wide spread applications in business and manufacturing because of its ability to treat ill-structuredness and vagueness associated with complex decision making problems. For multi-dimensional decision problems, generally an optimum single DSS can be developed. However, with an increasing number of influencing dimensions, increasing number of their factors and relationships, complexity of such a system exponentially grows. As a result, software development and maintenance of an optimum DSS becomes cumbersome and is often practically unfeasible for real situations. This paper presents a technically feasible approximation of an optimum DSS through decreasing its complexity by a modular structure. It consists of multiple DSSs, each of which contains the homogenous knowledge's, decision making tools and possibly expertise's pertaining to a certain decision making dimension. Simple, efficient and practical integration mechanism is introduced for integrating the individual DSSs within the proposed overall DSS architecture.

  • In this research, we propose a hybrid group decision support mechanism (H-GDSM) based on Fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Map). The AHP elicits a corresponding priority vector interpreting the preferred information among the decision makers. Corresponding vector was composed of the pairwise comparison values of a set of objects. Since pairwise comparison values are the judgments obtained from an appropriate semantic scale. However, AHP couldn't represent the causal relationship among information, which were used by decision makers. In contrast to AHP, FCM could represent the causal relationship among variables or information. Therefore, FCMs were successfully developed and used in several ill-structured domains, such as strategic decision-making, policy making, and simulations. Nonetheless, many researchers used subjective and voluntary inputs to simulate the FCM. As a result of subjective inputs, it couldn't avoid the rebukes of businessman. To overcome these limitations, we incorporated the Fuzzy membership functions, AHP and FCM into a H-GDSM. In contrast to current AHP methods and FCMs, the H-GDSM method developed herein could concurrently tackle the pairwise comparison involving causal relationships under a group decision-making environment. The strengths and contributions of our mechanism were 1) handling of qualitative knowledge and causal relationships, 2) extraction of objective input value to simulate the FCM, 3) multi-phase group decision support based on H-GDSM. To validate our proposed mechanism we developed a simple prototype system to support negotiation-based decisions in electronic commerce (EC).
