Spatial Decision Support Systems

This book integrates Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) research from a variety of disciplines including decision sciences and geosciences. It provides the core knowledge needed to understand how SDSS function, how they can be used in various decision making contexts, and how to design and develop SDSS using enabling technologies and commercial tools. It covers the core principles of SDSS as well as the methods to design SDSS and tailor it for one's own work environment. The case studies and numerous example applications allow readers to apply and practice core principles.
