Spatial Information Solutions:Spatial Information Solutions:The Business Case The Business Case

In researching, developing, testing, delivering, and deploying spatial solutions, the integrated “whole” is far greater than the sum of the parts. The entire supply, solution, and decision management chain must be seamlessly linked to create a robust working solution. Without integrated solutions, the effectiveness of decision-making is decreased due to the complexity of components involved in the solution chain.

SIS will provide complete spatial information solutions that include user needs analysis, data specification, data acquisition, data and information processing, structuring the decision support system framework, and managing decision results.

Choice

The SDSS enables users to explore the decision problem in an interactive and recursive fashion in all phases of the decision-making process.

Decision-making process can be structured into three major phases: Intelligence - is there a problem or an opportunity for change? Design - what are the decision alternatives? Choice - which alternative is best?

The Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) Interface provides interaction between the user and the SDSS. The SDSS Interface is a Dialog Generation and Management System (DGMS) that provides user-friendly access to choices that are available in the model framework and interactive display of the spatial and tabular data as well as results of SDSS scenario outcomes.

The DataBase Management System (DBMS) provides the functions to manage the geographic data base

The Model Base Management System (MBMS) contains the functions to manage the model base framework
