This article seeks to enhance acceptance of the profile distance method (PDM) in decision support systems. The PDM is a multiple attributive-based decision making as well as a multiple method approach to support complex decision making and uses a heuristic to avoid computationally complex global optimization. We elaborate on the usability of the method and question the heuristic used. We present a bi-section algorithm, which efficiently supports the discovery of transition profiles needed in a user-friendly and practical application of the method. Additionally, we provide empirical evidence showing that the proposed heuristic is efficient and delivers results within 5% of the global optimizer for a wide range of datasets. 相似文献

This paper examines the concept of a model management system, what its functions are, and how they are to be achieved in a decision support context. The central issue is model representation which involves knowledge representation and knowledge management within a database environment. The model abstraction structure is introduced as a vehicle for model representation which supports both heuristic and deterministic inferencing as well as the conceptual/external schema notion familiar to database management. The model abstraction is seen as a special instance of the frame construct in artificial intelligence. Model management systems are characterized as frame-systems and a database implementation of this approach is described. 相似文献

Real‐life vehicle routing problems generally have both routing and scheduling aspects to consider. Although this fact is well acknowledged, few heuristic methods exist that address both these complicated aspects simultaneously. We present a graph theoretic heuristic to determine an efficient service route for a single service vehicle through a transportation network that requires a subset of its edges to be serviced, each a specified (potentially different) number of times. The times at which each of these edges are to be serviced should additionally be as evenly spaced over the scheduling time window as possible, thus introducing a scheduling consideration to the problem. Our heuristic is based on the tabu search method, used in conjunction with various well‐known graph theoretic algorithms, such as those of Floyd (for determining shortest routes) and Frederickson (for solving the rural postman problem). This heuristic forms the backbone of a decision support system that prompts the user for certain parameters from the physical situation (such as the service frequencies and travel times for each network link as well as bounds in terms of acceptability of results) after which a service routing schedule is suggested as output. The decision support system is applied to a special case study, where a service routing schedule is sought for the South African national railway system by Spoornet (the semi‐privatised South African national railways authority and service provider) as part of their rationalisation effort, in order to remain a lucrative company. 相似文献

An integral part of the model-building process is the modeler's choice of how much information to gather and encode in the decision model. Obtaining more detailed and accurate information enables a more precise problem representation which, in turn, leads to more effective decision making. However, acquiring extensive and accurate information entails higher costs and delays. This paper uses a network routing decision context to illustrate the tradeoff between model precision and decision effectiveness, and explores a formal decision-theoretic approach to determine an appropriate model specification that balances information gathering costs and decision quality. We propose optimal and heuristic methods for generating good information search strategies, and report computational results based on random test problems. Our results highlight the importance of simultaneously considering information costs and decision payoffs for constructing a decision model to support routing decisions. The issues raised in this paper are especially significant for modeling dynamic, real-time decision contexts where delays induced by information gathering activities could have significant economic impact. 相似文献

Fuzzy decision tree induction is an important way of learning from examples with fuzzy representation. Since the construction of optimal fuzzy decision tree is NP-hard, the research on heuristic algorithms is necessary. In this paper, three heuristic algorithms for generating fuzzy decision trees are analyzed and compared. One of them is proposed by the authors. The comparisons are twofold. One is the analytic comparison based on expanded attribute selection and reasoning mechanism; the other is the experimental comparison based on the size of generated trees and learning accuracy. The purpose of this study is to explore comparative strengths and weaknesses of the three heuristics and to show some useful guidelines on how to choose an appropriate heuristic for a particular problem. 相似文献

Constructing duty schedules for nurses at large hospitals is a difficult problem. The objective is usually to ensure that
there is always sufficient staff on duty, while taking into account individual preferences with respect to work patterns,
requests for leave and financial restrictions, in such a way that all employees are treated fairly. The problem is typically
solved via mixed integer programming or heuristic (local) search methods in the operations research literature. In this paper
the problem is solved using a tabu search approach as a case study at Stikland Hospital, a large psychiatric hospital in the
South African Western Cape, for which a computerized decision support system with respect to nurse scheduling was developed.
This decision support system, called NuRoDSS (short for Nurse Rostering Decision Support System) is described in some detail. 相似文献

Models are essential in a decision support system for river basin management. In a decision support system for integrated planning and management, the use of appropriate models is important to avoid models being either too simple or too complex. In this paper, appropriate models refer to models that are good-enough-but-not-more-than-that to obtain an acceptable ranking of river engineering measures under uncertainty. A systematic approach called ‘appropriateness framework’ is proposed to determine appropriate models that can be used in a decision support system. The approach is applied to a decision support system for the Dutch Meuse River. One important component of this decision support system, flood safety, is used in this paper to demonstrate how this approach works. The results show that the approach is very useful in helping to determine appropriate models. Potential applications of the approach in other decision support systems are discussed. The approach presented in this paper is designed as a tool to stimulate the communication between decision makers and modelers and to promote the use of models in decision-making for river basin management. 相似文献

This paper develops an integrated neural-network-based decision support system for predictive maintenance of rotational equipment. The integrated system is platform-independent and is aimed at minimizing expected cost per unit operational time. The proposed system consists of three components. The first component develops a vibration-based degradation database through condition monitoring of rolling element bearings. In the second component, an artificial neural network model is developed to estimate the life percentile and failure times of roller bearings. This is then used to construct a marginal distribution. The third component consists of the construction of a cost matrix and probabilistic replacement model that optimizes the expected cost per unit time. Furthermore, the integrated system consists of a heuristic managerial decision rule for different scenarios of predictive and corrective cost compositions. Finally, the proposed system can be applied in various industries and different kinds of equipment that possess well-defined degradation characteristics 相似文献

The Decision Support Systems (DSS) field has grown rapidly, drawing technology from many disciplines and pursuing applications in a variety of domains but developing little underlying theoretical structure and poor linkage between research and practice. This article presents a classification scheme for DSS techniques that provides a common theoretical framework for DSS research and also structures and simplifies the process of designing application systems. The classification system is functional, grouping DSS techniques according to their ability to provide similar kinds of support (i.e., functions) to a human decision maker. It is also cognitively based, defining the kinds of support that decision makers need in terms of architectural features and procedural aspects of human cognition. The classification is expressed as a taxonomy, encompassing six primary classes of decision support techniques representing the six general kinds of cognitive support that human decision makers need. The six classes are process models, which assist in projecting the future course of complex processes; choice models, which support integration of decision criteria across aspects and/or alternatives; information control techniques, which help in storage, retrieval, organization, and integration of data and knowledge; analysis and reasoning techniques, which support application of problem-specific expert reasoning procedures; representation aids, which assist in expression and manipulation of a specific representation of a decision problem; and judgment amplification/refinement techniques, which help in quantification and debiasing of heuristic judgments. Additional distinctions are provided to distinguish the individual techniques in each of these primary categories. The taxonomy also has practical use as a design aid for decision support systems. The kinds of decision support needs represented by the taxonomy are general and can be used to guide the analysis and decomposition of a given decision prior to decision aid design. Specific needs for assistance can then be tied to specific computational techniques in the taxonomy. Methodological suggestions for using the taxonomy as a design aid are given. 相似文献
