This chapter concerns the conceptualization of an intelligent system for the territorial planning, taking as an example the agriculture case as a tool in decision making. It is started by giving a comparison between the geographical information system (GIS) and the intelligent system (IS), demonstrating the limits of the GIS and the appeal to the artificial intelligence. Also, the chapter gives an overview of the application of decision support systems (DSSs), modeling and simulation applied in forest management, agriculture, ecology, and environment. Finally, the chapter proposes the methodology and the intelligent system proposed, setting up some indicators which help to aid decision making.

This work aims to create a decision support and geographic information system aimed at optimizing the management of forest capital in the Adrar region. Through this awareness, we question the place of geographic information in the dialogue process and the approach to sustainable development. Cadastral data, satellite images, cartographic and photographic data will be presented. Data processing and data integration will be discussed. The expected results must provide knowledge beyond reach without these tools. They clarify the importance of satellite images and the spatial component of geographic information. In the current context of sustainable development, geographic information appears necessary for decision-making.

The Intelligent Management Information System (IMIS) has the potential to transform human decision making by combining research in Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, and Systems Engineering. The field of Intelligent Decision Making (IDM) is expanding rapidly, due in part to advances in artificial intelligence and networkcentric environments that can deliver the technology. Communication and coordination between dispersed systems can deliver just-in-time information, real-time processing, collaborative environments, and globally up-to-date information to the human decision maker. At the same time, artificial intelligence techniques have demonstrated that they have matured sufficiently to provide computational assistance to humans in practical applications. It is the development direction of modern management science and technology. In this chapter, firstly we introduce the introduction and background of IMIS, and briefly, the related design conception. Subsequently, the Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) is depicted, which is the most significant technology of IMIS and related activities in the manufacturing process. The applications of IDSS and two cases for industrial manufacturing are then presented, representing the future development direction of manufacturing management. Lastly, a summary of this chapter is given. IMIS researchers and technologists have built and investigated Decision Support Systems (DSS) for more than 35 years. The developments in DSS began with building model-oriented DSS in the late 1960s which were followed by theory developments in the 1970s, and the implementation of financial planning systems and Group DSS in the early and mid-1980s. During the mid-1980s, Intelligent DSS were implemented through combining knowledge systems with DSS. These developments are discussed below, as well as the origins of Executive Information Systems, On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP), Business Intelligence, and the implementation of Web-based DSS in the mid-1990s, which quickly became a topic for active discussion, and whose influence spread widely.

Data mode “good governance” developed in the last century for process of sustainable base system, providing basic information and on-line services, supports the development, challenges and opportunities in the context of globalization and integration. In this paper I discuss a framework for the design of e-Local Governance (eLG) that integrates Information System (IS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and Atlas with focus on ethnic minorities in Vietnam. The design framework is based on various classifications such categories as sex, age, ethnic group, education background and income. The database system is built to enhance the Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs (CEMA) capabilities in the planning and decision making process by providing the authorities with data, internet GIS, internet communication and some ecological economic models to disseminate results to the ethnic minorities. The unique feature of the CEMADATA using GIS is that it helps users not only to improve the public services and to provide information and encourage ethnic minorities to participate in decision making processes, but also to support the competency-based training for IT staff

The study considers the problem of decision-making in the actvites of agricultural enterprises in conditons of environmental uncertainty. The problem is formalized as a multcriteria conditonal optmizaton problem. The novelty of the work is that the factors are considered as dynamic fuzzy quanttes. The choice of the best alternatve is made between the elements of a predetermined fnite set of alternatves. Based on this formalizaton of the decision-making task, six requirements to the informaton system of decision support in the conditons of ecological uncertainty are formulated.

UNSTRUCTURED Objective: The potential benefits of artificial intelligence based decision support system (AI-DSS) from a theoretical perspective are well documented and perceived by researchers but there is a lack of evidence showing its influence on routine clinical practice and how its perceived by care providers. Since the effectiveness of AI systems depends on data quality, implementation, and interpretation. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the effectiveness of AI-DSS in clinical setting and understand its influence on clinician’s decision making outcome. Materials and Methods: This review protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses reporting guidelines. Literature will be identified using a multi-database search strategy developed in consultation with a librarian. The proposed screening process consists of a title and abstract scan, followed by a full-text review by two reviewers to determine the eligibility of articles. Studies outlining application of AI based decision support system in a clinical setting and its impact on clinician’s decision making, will be included. A tabular synthesis of the general study details will be provided, as well as a narrative synthesis of the extracted data, organised into themes. Studies solely reporting AI accuracy an but not implemented in a clinical setting to measure its influence on clinical decision making were excluded from further review. Results: We identified 8 eligible studies that implemented AI-DSS in a clinical setting to facilitate decisions concerning prostate cancer, post traumatic stress disorder, cardiac ailment, back pain, and others. Five (62.50%) out of 8 studies reported positive outcome of AI-DSS. Conclusion: The systematic review indicated that AI-enabled decision support systems, when implemented in a clinical setting and used by clinicians might not ensure enhanced decision making. However, there are very limited studies to confirm the claim that AI based decision support system can uplift clinicians decision making abilities.

This paper describes a decision support system that forest managers can use to help evaluate short-term, site-specific silvicultural operating plans in terms of their potential impact on long-term, forest-level strategic objectives. The system is based upon strategic and tactical forest-level silvicultural planning models that are linked with each other and with a geographical information system. Managers can first use the strategic mathematical programming model to develop broad silvicultural strategies based on aggregate timber strata. These strategies help them to subjectively delineate specific candidate sites that might be treated during the first 10 years of a much longer planning horizon using a geographical information system and to describe potential silvicultural prescriptions for each candidate site. The tactical model identifies an annual silvicultural schedule for these candidate sites in the first 10 years, and a harvesting and regeneration schedule by 10-year periods for aggregate timber strata for the remainder of the planning horizon, that will maximize the sustainable yield of one or more timber species in the whole forest, given the candidate sites and treatments specified by the managers. The system is demonstrated on a 90 000 - ha area in northeastern Ontario.

This article explores the ability of a decision support system (DSS) to improve the quality of decision making in extreme environment. This DSS is actually based on a networked information system. Academic literature commonly mentions models of fit to explore the relationship between technology and performance, reckoning users' evaluations as a relevant measurement technique for Information System (IS) success. Although effective contributions have been achieved in measurement and exploration of fit, there have been few attempts to investigate the triangulation of fit between “Task-DSS-Decision Maker” under stressful and uncertain circumstances. This article provides new insights regarding the advantages provided by networked IS for making relevant decisions. An original case study has been conducted. It is focused on a networked decision support system called Link 16 that is used during aerial missions. This case study shows that the system improves decision making on an individual basis. Our result suggest the importance of three main fit criteria – Compliance, Complementarity and Conformity – to measure DSS performance under extreme environment and display a preliminary decisional fit model.
