    DSS Generators, SIMOn's Model

    Uploaded by

    pradiprasve87
    This document discusses Simon's model of decision making, which breaks the process down into intelligence, design, and choice phases. It also outlines planning stages and methods. Finally, it describes the components of spatial decision support systems (SDSS), including data management, model management, and user interfaces. Tools for developing SDSS are also presented, such as programming languages, simulation software, and generators that can be used to build specific SDSS applications.

    Specific DSS
    The Decision-making Process
     Simon divides any decision-making process
    into the phases of decision-making
     intelligence - is there a problem or an opportunity
    for change?
     design - what are the decision alternatives?

     choice -  which alternative is best?


    Simon’s Model
    Planning Stages
     Problems
     Goals
     Objectives
     Alternatives
     Evaluations
     Choice
     Implementation
     Monitoring
    Planning Methods
     SWOT
     Bargaining
     Brainstorming
     DELPHI
     Scenario writing
     Consensus building
     Public meeting support
     Consultants
     Stakeholder involvement
    Components of SDSS
     Data Base Management System contains the
    functions to manage the geographic data base
     Model Base Management System contains the
    functions to manage the model base;
     Dialog Generation and Management System
    manages the interface  between the user and
    the rest of the system.
    DSS Tools
     Procedural programming languages and code libraries (e.g., VB,
    AML, Avenue, TransCAD - Caliper Script macro language,
    MapInfo - MapBasic);
     Visual progamming language (e.g. STELLA, Cantata and Khoros);
     Inter-application communication software (e.g. dynamic data
    exchange (DDE), object linking (OLE), open database connectivity
    (ODBC));
     Simulation languages and software (e.g. SIMULINK, SIMULA);
     Application programming interfaces (API) (e.g. the IBM's
    geoManager API, Java Advanced Imaging API, TransCAD's API);
     Applets  (e.g. GISApplet,  Microsoft Visual J++),
     Visual interfaces, graphics and color subroutines (e.g. graphical user
    interfaces – GUI, OpenGL, SVG, etc.)
    DSS Generator
     Package of related hardware and software which provides a set
    of capabilities to quickly and easily build a specific SDSS
     GISystems (e.g. ARC/INFO, ArcView, ARCNetwork, Spatial
    Analyst, MapObjects LT, GRASS, IDRISI, MapInfo,
    TransCAD)
     Database packages  (e.g. dBase, Access, Paradox);
     Decision analysis and optimization software (e.g. LINDO,
    EXPERT CHOICE, LOGICAL DECISION);
     Statistical and geostatistical software (e.g. S-PLUS, SPSS,
    SAS);
     Simulation (e.g. Spatial Modeling Environment)
    Specific DSS
     Systems devoted to the analysis of a particular set of
    decision problems
     Support decision makers in tackling semi-structured
    problems
     Active Response Geographic Information System
     IDRISI Decision Support
     GeoMed
     Spatial Group Choice
     winR+GIS Spatial Decision Support
     CommunityVis
    Summary
     SDSS has been defined as an interactive, computer-based
    system designed to support a user or group of users in achieving
    a higher effectiveness of decision making while solving a semi-
    structured spatial decision problem
     The SDSS concept is based on the DDM (dialog, data, model)
    paradigm; a well-design SDSS should have balance among the
    three capabilities.
     There are three sets of technologies for building an SDSS: the
    DSS development tools, the DSS generators, and specific SDSS
     The DSS tools facilite the development of specific SDSS or
    they can be configured into a DSS generator which in turn can
    be used to build a variety of specific SDSS.
