Commercial Spaces

Commercial space features essential characteristics of attracting clients and creating profits; thus, the exterior and interior designs of conventional commercial space were often made to look grandiose and overdecorated. Over time, according to commercial attributes, operator preferences, and style of the designer, commercial spaces have constantly undergone renovation into varied styles. However, the physical renovation processhas caused multiple and composite types of environmental pollution, such as waste and noise pollution caused by breaking of walls or partitions, anddecorative paint pollution, as well as the use of high-energy-consuming lighting equipment, air-conditioning systems, and decorative materials. Global pollution has caused climate change, endangering living organismsand human life. Furthermore, no effective method exists to control the problem of high greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this study used energy-saving design concerns of a garden-type commercial space to propose an energy-saving evaluation model. The study combined three methodologies, the Delphi method, analytic hierarchy process, and fuzzy logic theory, to construct a multi-criteria decision support system for designing green commercial spaces, and used the green spatial design of a garden café as an example to illustrate the high objectivity and adaptability of the proposed model in practical application. The study also used an international award-winning case to validate that the proposed model had practical value as a reference to support key design decisions.

Multicriteria Decision Support

In this article, a solution to the problem of perturbation in the urban transport network has been proposed. This solution is based on the multicriteria decision support method, which is an efficient way of identifying appropriate solutions to different perturbations situations. The proposed model should provide synthesis, evaluation and updating of available information in order to facilitate the task of the network monitoring operator. To achieve this objective, the authors propose formal modeling of the perturbation concept through an effective and above all significant decision support system exploiting the diversity of the criteria as well as the decision maker's subjectivity. This modeling makes it possible to capitalize the knowledge available within a checkpoint and to monitor the process. The authors show how, from the information available on the network, the modeling of the process represented by a perturbation makes it possible to enrich the possibilities of evaluation of the state of the network.

Management of real time information systems is gaining importance in all sectors and facets of human life. Varying from their applications in aviation, military, government, space technology, earth science, robotics, human cognitive, life support systems, disasters and emergencies, they emerge in diversified forms and natures. This paper identifies various contexts in the decision making processes of community livelihood; contextualizes the relevant information for taking time-critical decision, conceptualizes appropriate decision making methods, tools, and technologies for proper implementation, and manages an appropriate decision support system focusing knowledge acquisition and learning. Along this perspective, the paper establishes a decision support system framework in the aspect of early warning system in reaching out to grass roots community people at their own language, sign, and interpretation; provides knowledge support during disaster management, especially during post-disaster; provides information support in agriculture related matters, focusing pest control, and pre and post harvesting issues; provides emergency health assistance support during road accidents, or emergency health cases, or epidemic breakouts; and finally provides collaborative learning to improve e-governance at community level.

Multidimensional Objects

This paper has proposed a model of the computational core for the decision support system (DSS) when investing in the projects of information security (IS) of the objects of informatization (OBI). Including those OBI that can be categorized as critically important. Unlike existing solutions, the proposed model deals with decision-making issues in the ongoing process of investing in the projects to ensure the OBI IS by a group of investors. The calculations were based on the bilinear differential quality games with several terminal surfaces. Finding a solution to these games is a big challenge. It is due to the fact that the Cauchy formula for bilinear systems with arbitrary strategies of players, including immeasurable functions, cannot be applied in such games. This gives grounds to continue research on finding solutions in the event of a conflict of multidimensional objects. The result was an analytical solution based on a new class of bilinear differential games. The solution describes the interaction of objects investing in OBI IS in multidimensional spaces. The modular software product "Cybersecurity Invest decision support system " (Ukraine) for the Windows platform is described. Applied aspects of visualization of the results of calculations obtained with the help of DSS have been also considered. The Plotly library for the Python algorithmic language was used to visualize the results. It has been shown that the model reported in this work can be transferred to other tasks related to the development of DSS in the process of investing in high-risk projects, such as information technology, cybersecurity, banking, etc.

Intelligent Decision Support

HEPCloud is rapidly becoming the primary system for provisioning compute resources for all Fermilab-affiliated experiments. In order to reliably meet the peak demands of the next generation of High Energy Physics experiments, Fermilab must plan to elastically expand its computational capabilities to cover the forecasted need. Commercial cloud and allocation-based High Performance Computing (HPC) resources both have explicit and implicit costs that must be considered when deciding when to provision these resources, and at which scale. In order to support such provisioning in a manner consistent with organizational business rules and budget constraints, we have developed a modular intelligent decision support system (IDSS) to aid in the automatic provisioning of resources spanning multiple cloud providers, multiple HPC centers, and grid computing federations. In this paper, we discuss the goals and architecture of the HEPCloud Facility, the architecture of the IDSS, and our early experience in using the IDSS for automated facility expansion both at Fermi and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

National Road

National roads are one of the main networks of a country’s transportation system. To maintain the performance level of national roads requires a well-structured pavement management system (PMS). The decision support system (DSS) is inseparable in the modern PMS, which required the development of a new approach for the DSS in support of national road network maintenance. The proposed model integrates data mining (DM) and geographical information system (GIS) to construct a simple DSS. DM is used to developed road maintenance optimization models, and then integrated with DSS with the help of GIS as an interface application. Historical data on the national road network in West Java, Indonesia is used as a case study. Examples show that the proposed model can determine a decision support solution efficiently. In addition, a userfriendly computer interface is developed so that PMS stakeholders can plan pavement maintenance simply and effectively.
