“…WOODSS (Pinto et al 2003;Medeiros et al 2005) is the only other Web-based decision support system we have come across that uses workflow technology to capture and codify user interactions. These are stored in a repository of evolvable and executable process elements to help decision makers synthesise alternatives.…”

In recent years, emerging Information and Communication Technologies have changed the nature and process of decision making. Decision processes are often distributed, heterogeneous and subject to change. Business process modelling is a key technology for analysing, representing and executing business processes. It can be used to study distributed decision processes and improve decision making practices. A theoretical model of the decision process has been developed in order to better integrate the decision concept with models of business processes. The decision model is executed using a process support system that provides a distributed Web user interface. The enacted decision model evolves as the decision process progresses and supports decision makers if and when needed. The case study of an actual decision process undertaken in a not-for-profit organisation is presented to highlight the use, execution and validation of the decision model.

“…Pinto et al [2003] extended the architecture of data integration, which provides services to find, share and publish sources of data through the Web. The collaborative Project SpeCS uses this architecture and has been used in decision-making processes [Pinto, Medeiros, Souza et al 2003]. Alameh [2001] approaches chaining GI Services on the Web.…”

Abstract. Researchers working with biodiversity try to understand organisms adaptation in their environmental niche and try to provide subsidies for conscious use of natural resources by scientific organizations and government institutions. This work aims to support the cooperation among the researchers of a species distribution modeling network. The cooperation is based on sharing modeling results, which involves samples of species, environmental data and modeling algorithms. For this, we propose a web service that allows the creation, cataloguing and recovery of model instances. A model instance includes the data and the context of modeling results.

Geo-collaborative systems address the computational support to situations where people are working in different locations, gathering geographically-related data in the field and sharing knowledge. We propose a conceptual framework identifying the design issues that fundamentally set the stage for eliciting the requirements of geo-collaborative systems. The conceptual framework has five elements: places, teams, tasks, artifacts and georeferenced knowledge. We also highlight two important relationships between some of these elements: (1) a task-artifact relationship, related with the need to increase the organizational decision making abilities through concerted efforts; and (2) an artifact-knowledge relationship, related with the need to support mechanisms for jointly understanding geo-referenced data. The conceptual framework was applied to the development of a groupware tool aiming to increase the productivity of the geological mapping process followed by a national agency with competence in this area. The paper describes in detail how the conceptual framework influenced the groupware design. The obtained results indicate that the framework can focus the designers on the human aspects of geo-collaboration and guide them through the initial design stages.
