This paper discusses a decision support system for airline and railway crew planning. The system is a state-of-the-art branch-and-price solver that is used for crew scheduling and crew rostering. We briefly discuss the mathematical background of the solver, of which most part is covered in the...

Decision Support Systems under Multiple Objectives (MODSS) has been classified as a specific type of system within the broad family of DSS and has been one of the most active areas of research. However, despite its theoretical development large scale real-world applications of multi-objective...

This paper presents a personal-computer assisted decision support system (DSS) which aims at aiding logistics managers in selecting the most appropriate transportation choice between private and common carriers. In contrast with a traditional stand-alone system, this DSS is designed for...

We present a new framework for model management based on system concepts and theory. Underlying the framework is a set of meta-modeling concepts that are useful in capturing the semantics of the modeling process in a modeling environment. These concepts include the notions of a general-model...

Многие из проблем, связанных с устойчивым развитием, можно проследить на пути производства и потребления, которое осуществляет современное общество....

Decision-making is a crucial activity during the planning, design and operation of artefacts. To make a decision several alternatives must be evaluated and compared, which are tasks that require information, knowledge and expertise. A system that organises and manages the knowledge associated...

This paper examines a decision support system (DSS) for the appraisal of complex decision problems using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The DSS makes use of a structured hierarchical approach featuring the multiplicative AHP also known as the REMBRANDT technique. The paper addresses...

Until the 2000s, water resources in Tunisia were managed solely by government bodies without any consultation with water users. At the local level, Commissariats Règionaux de Dèveloppement Agricole [Regional Agricultural Development Committees (CRDAs)], which represented the government bodies,...

It is crucial to design and implement decision support systems to assist the manager because of the diversity and the large amount of data stocked in an organization. The concept of decision support system (DSS) defines any information technology focused on supporting the decision process. For a...

Nowadays, the capital cost of open-pit mining equipment is very high so any mistake in the selection of quantity, type and capacity of equipment may cause irreparable impact on the net present value of mining project. Mine planning engineers generally use their intuition and experience in...
