A Decision Support System for Administering Water Rights in an Alluvial Aquifer
A previously developed basin scale surface-ground water simulation model has been incorporated into a micro-computer based decision support system that simulates the transient ground water...
A Decision Support System for Reassessing the Operation of the Chungju Reservoir System
The Chungju Reservoir is a component of the Han River System in Korea. Chungju Reservoir consists of a main reservoir and a downstream smaller reservoir that serves as an after bay. It...
A Decision Support System for Multi-Purpose Reservoir Operations
A generalized decision support system (DSS) is presented for developing optimal operation policies for multi-purpose reservoirs. The model is designed for single reservoirs, although is...
Colorado River Decision Support System
Colorado is developing its own tools, such as the Colorado River Decision Support System (CRDSS), to evaluate alternative strategies and establish an informed and factual position regarding...
Building Groundwater Optimizers That Respond to the Needs of Decision-Makers
Optimization methods are being sought and employed to design systems that remediate contaminated groundwater regions (and, in fact, the subsurface in general) with increasing frequency....
Public Involvement in Water Resources Management
Some thoughts on the use of public involvement, partnering, customer focus, and decision support systems in water management are presented....
Considering Uncertainties in Water Resource Designs
Design of water resource systems often faces with various uncertainties. The nature of problems in essence are decision making under uncertainties. This paper offers an introduction to...
Decision Support System for Conjunctive Use Under Complex Water Right Conditions
A prototype microcomputer based decision support system (DSS) is presented for assisting in the conjunctive use management of surface and groundwater under the water rights doctrine of...
Improving Reservoir System Operations Under Water Rights Requirements
Successful reservoir operations planning largely depends on knowing the future inflow to the system; understanding the objectives of the reservoir system; and understanding the relationship...
WATSUP: A Simulation Model for Water Supply Cost and Reliability
WATSUP (Water Supply) is a computer model developed to provide a prototype modeling tool for planners to estimate the costs and reliability of urban water supply systems on a regional...
Decision-Making Paradigm for Risk Assessment of Hazardous Wastes Using Fuzzy Sets
This paper summarizes the development of a risk assessment framework to provide risk-cost policy alternatives to prioritize remediation actions for hazardous wastes. The framework is a...
Uncertain Reasoning in a Pavement Management System
A major objective of a Pavement Management System (PMS) is to assist highway engineers and managers in making consistent and cost effective decisions related to maintenance and rehabilitation...
A Decision Support System for Evaluating the Suitability of a Robotics System for a Construction Project
Development in the area of construction robotics/automation would require construction managers to critically evaluate the feasibility of replacing a conventional construction process...
A New Automated System for Decision Support in the Construction Industry
This paper describes a collaborative project to research and develop a computer based decision support system for the construction industry. The system is intended primarily for use during...
A Decision Support System for the Expansion of International Operations of A/E/C Firms
The changing trend of the construction industry will require A/E/C firms to consider expanding operations in the international construction market arena. This paper presents a conceptual...
A Machine Learning Decision Support System for Collaborative Design
The research described in this paper is motivated by the complexity surrounding the development of decision support systems (DSSs) for collaborative design processes. If one realizes that...
An Artificial Neural Network Approach to Pavement Maintenance Decision Support System
An important component of any Pavement Maintenance Decision Support System (PMDSS) is the condition survey and rating procedures. Data obtained from these procedures are the primary basis...
A Formal Product/Process Model for Engineering
This paper describes an extended object data model which is suitable for modeling complex design information. The model provides extensions to object oriented model by providing explicit...
Bayes' Theorem and Quantitative Risk Assessment
This paper argues that for a quantitative risk analysis (QRA) to be useful for public and private decisionmaking, and for rallying the support necessary to implement those decisions, it...
Uncertainty versus Computer Response Time
Interactive on-line presentation of risk analysis results with immediate `what if' capability is now possible with available microcomputer technology. This can provide an effective means...
