General System description

System name: Ecosystem Management Decision Support

Acronym: EMDS

Brief overview

The Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) system is a general solution framework for integrated landscape evaluation and planning.[[Category:]] [[Category:]]

EMDS 4.0 logo

Scope of the system

The system provides decision support for landscape-level analyses through logic and decision engines integrated with the ArcGIS geographic information system. The NetWeaver logic engine evaluates landscape data against a formal logic specification designed in the NetWeaver Developer system, to derive logic-based interpretations of ecosystem conditions. The decision engine evaluates NetWeaver outcomes, and data related to the feasibility and efficacy of land management actions, against a decision model for prioritizing landscape features built with its development system, Criterium DecisionPlus. CDP models implement the analytical hierarchy process, the simple multi-attribute rating technique, or a combination of the two methods. The system has been used in a high variety of applications[1].
