Fifth call for Short Term Scientific Missions

The deadline is 21 December 2011

The current call is evaluated on the following criteria (note that the order does not constitute a rank of priority): (i) case studies of DSS strengths and weaknesses; (ii) STSM suggestions from WGs (see list below); (iii) contribution to guidelines to support the design of DSS; (iv) general contribution to FORSYS milestones.

Applications can only be submitted by using the on-line registration tool on http://www.cost.esf.org/stsm (select Action FP0804). To see details go to ftp://salix.slu.se/download/FORSYS_info/STSM.pdf. The applicant should also submit to STSM coordinator Luigi Portoghesi (lporto at unitus.it): (i) a detailed work plan, (ii) CV, and (iii) host acceptance letter.

One aim of STSMs is to contribute to the achievement of one or more milestones (see the WG workplans on http://fp0804.emu.ee/). The current call is evaluated on the following criteria (note that the order does not constitute a rank of priority): (i) case studies of DSS strengths and weaknesses; (ii) STSM suggestions from WGs (see list below); (iii) contribution to guidelines to support the design of DSS; (iv) general contribution to FORSYS milestones.

Applications can only be submitted by using the on-line registration tool on http://www.cost.esf.org/stsm (select Action FP0804). To see details go to ftp://salix.slu.se/download/FORSYS_info/STSM.pdf; copy link to browser if needed. The applicant should also submit to STSM coordinator Luigi Portoghesi (lporto@unitus.it): (i) a detailed work plan, (ii) CV, and (iii) host acceptance letter. 

 The work plan should be structured as follow:
  • Background of and motivation for the mission
  • Goal of the proposed STSM and its contribution to FORSYS objectives
  • Main contents of the STSM (list of activities to be carried out at the host institution)

The budget for an individual STSM can be maximum € 2500 including travel and a daily allowance of € 60-90. The Steering Committee of FORSYS will evaluate the applications on behalf of the Management Committee.

STSM suggestions from WGs

WG1

  • Link the DSS to the problem types through the problem dimensions; label the problem types (connected to the wiki).
  • Glossary, first step towards an ontology of the wiki.
  • Categories as the basis for DSS search on the wiki.
  • Architecture – new approaches.

(Note: a STSM could cover more than one aspect mentioned above if they are closely linked).

WG2

  • Table development – review the comments from the Problem type/Method description table being developed in WG2 and develop the advantage and disadvantage key attributes of the different methods. Link methods to the Wiki entries by examining the DSS and making key word (methods) links.
  • Single stand optimization methods
  • Non-linear programming? Single stand optimization method problem type is probably under-represented or not represented. Are there any methods that could be used for this problem?

WG3

  • To identify computer based KM tools which support the processes of knowledge identification and generation, knowledge storage and transfer in the context of the topic identifying adaption strategies for Climate change.
  • To explore the role of Cognitive Mapping (CM) in supporting participatory planning, knowledge management and problem structuring - an example on Regional Forest Programs in Finland
  • To consider common issues of participation processes and Knowledge Management processes in DSS approaches for the formulation of the FORSYS guidelines

WG4

  • Study specific cases of interest from the participatory planning (PP) point of view. (The cases of interest for participatory planning will be presented on the WIKI pages, and presented based on the case template given.)
  • Make reviews of the collected information (cases/CR), and see what tools are actually used in PP and what have not been used. If tools seemingly useful are not utilized in practice, we try to find out why.
  • Screen the DSS cases to see how common using PP in the development has been, and to what sort of tasks.
