Moving Beyond Traditional Decision Support Systems

Abstract

Integrating the concept of mobility into the professional and organizational realm offers the possibility of reducing geographical disparities related to organization services. The advances made in technology, geographic information systems and pervasive systems equipped with global positioning (GPS) technologies have been able to bring about an evolution from classic data approaches towards the modeling of trajectory data resulting from moving activities of moving objects. As such, trajectory data needs first to be loaded into a Data Warehouse for analysis purposes. However, the traditional approaches used are poorly suited to handle spatio-temporal data features and also the decision making tasks related to mobility issues. Because of this mismatch, the authors propose to move beyond traditional approaches and propose a repository that is able to analyse trajectories of moving objects. Improving decision making and extracting pertinent knowledge with reduced costs and time expended are the main goals of this revised analysis approach. Thus, the authors propose an approach in which they employ the Bottom-up approach to modeling a Decision Support System which is designed to support Trajectory Data. As an example to illustrate this approach, the authors use a creamery and dairy milk mobile cistern application to demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach.

Brand Marketing Decision Support System Based on Computer Vision and Parallel Computing

“…The characteristics of the decision support system include rich information sources in the database, directly facing managers, users determine the decision-making of human machines, and have the ability to assist decision-making. The decision support system mainly corresponds to semistructured and unstructured problems [27,28]. From the above characteristics, it can be seen that the decision support system comprehensively applies analysis technology and information retrieval technology and attaches importance to the adaptability and flexibility of the decision system corresponding to changes in the environment and user decision-making methods.…”
