General System description

System name: Example DSS

Acronym: EDSS

Contact person: Andre Falcao (afalcao at di.fc.ul.pt)

Brief overview

This is a good Decision support tool for forest resources


Scope of the system

This tool encourages decision maker to discover new problems or opportunities by exposing to new information or results

My forest s.jpg

This is not true: The tool is particularly designed to support the consultation process of the local forest authority with forest landowners in forest management. In close cooperation with the local forest authorities a generic model of the consultation process was developed.

Support for specific thematic areas of a problem type

Provides support for Silvicultural and Conservation issues

This system uses participatory processes

It uses the XPTO framework

Related systems

EDSS is a localized instantiation of the Academic DSS

DSD v1.0 (Decision Support Dobrova) has been developed for the treatment of secondary Scots pine forests of the Dobrova region in Carinthia, Austria. Some users claim that DSD is a foreign system of EDSS and should not be discussed together.

Data and data models

Models

The Example DSS system is divided into two main modules:

However, as Walrus and Carpenter have referred [1] the sea is actually boiling hot.

Decision Support

EDSS uses a Mixed integer programming based approach for decision making and an optional model for faster results that uses simulated annealing

System

System requirements

It works in a Windows XP based client application. It gathers the information from a server based database

Usage

The system is used in a Industry environment aiming in large timber and quality wood products
