Edited by Chiang S. Jao, ISBN 978-953-7619-64-0, 406 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published January 01, 2010 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licenseDOI: 10.5772/3453 Decision support systems (DSS) have evolved over the past four decades from theoretical concepts into real world computerized applications.
DSS architecture contains three key components: knowledge base, computerized model, and user interface. DSS simulate cognitive decision-making functions of humans based on artificial intelligence methodologies (including expert systems, data mining, machine learning, connectionism, logistical reasoning, etc.) in order to perform decision support functions. The applications of DSS cover many domains, ranging from aviation monitoring, transportation safety, clinical diagnosis, weather forecast, business management to internet search strategy. By combining knowledge bases with inference rules, DSS are able to provide suggestions to end users to improve decisions and outcomes.
2010 - [INTECH][978-9537619947] KM. Edited by Pasi Virtanen and Nina Helander, ISBN 978-953-7619-94-7, 272 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published March 01, 2010 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licenseDOI: 10.5772/56890 This book is a compilation of writings handpicked in esteemed scientific conferences that present the variety of ways to approach this multifaceted phenomenon. In this book, knowledge management is seen as an integral part of information and communications technology (ICT). The topic is first approached from the more general perspective, starting with discussing knowledge management’s role as a medium towards increasing productivity in organizations.
In the starting chapters of the book, the duality between technology and humans is also taken into account. In the following chapters, one may see the essence and multifaceted nature of knowledge management through branch-specific observations and studies. Towards the end of the book the ontological side of knowledge management is illuminated. 2009 - [INTECH][978-9533070094] AT.
Edited by Kankesu Jayanthakumaran, ISBN 978-953-307-009-4, 698 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published October 01, 2009 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license This book, edited by the Intech committee, combines several hotly debated topics in science, engineering, medicine, information technology, environment, economics and management, and provides a scholarly contribution to its further development.
In view of the topical importance of, and the great emphasis placed by the emerging needs of the changing world, it was decided to have this special book publication comprise thirty six chapters which focus on multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary topics. The inter-disciplinary works were limited in their capacity so a more coherent and constructive alternative was needed.
Our expectation is that this book will help fill this gap because it has crossed the disciplinary divide to incorporate contributions from scientists and other specialists.
