摘要:

An approach for designing and developing decision aiding systems is presented through the design and definition of the architecture of a system, corresponding to a real problem: that of providing aid to designers. The purpose of the decision aid is to provide assistance to computer system designers tackling interface usability problems and needing to know which modelling techniques out of an array would be more appropriate to apply. Different aspects of the design problem may call for different modelling techniques to be recruited. The design of the DDAS accommodates that reality. The architecture of DDAS is based on principles of systems thinking, in particular soft systems methodology, for eliciting and structuring knowledge relevant to a generic design space, and on fuzzy sets through test score semantics for representing and evaluating the meaning of relationships between components of the design problem and the modelling techniques. The advantage of this architecture is that it could be used for other problems where the decision maker, who is not necessarily an expert, wants to know what tools and techniques are appropriate for him and his particular problem.

摘要:

The identification of the most cost/service-effective logistic structure for a company is one of the most essential elements of logistics strategy. The design of logistic structure consists of defining the number, size and location of facilities, the assignment of products to facilities and markets, and the selection of transport modes and routes. One of the most widely used methods for logistic network design is linear optimisation. However, the method is cost—oriented usually incorporating only delivery time of the numerous customer service elements. In the paper, we present an approach to logistics network design where linear optimisation is supported by an application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The qualitative characteristics of the alternative network elements are analysed using AHP, a cost/service-ratio is calculated for each element, and the optimisation is based on the cost/service-ratio resulting to the most cost/service- effective logistic structure.

摘要:

In order to modelize strategic management for insurance company we have adopted a multi agent approach. This work yields a proposition of a resolution model representing knowledge with multi expert features. The Multi—World Model (M3) proposed belongs to the family of blackboard systems. This model is based on a hierarchy of coherent thematic knowledge packages called Knowledge Worlds (KWs). The KWs are organized in accordance with multi level multi agent architecture in which provide an opening towards agent oriented methodology for problem analysis. To validate the described mechanism, one case of this system, called SMEIG is presented.

摘要:

The opening up of organisations has entailed the teams to work in an asynchronous context in different places. We might then call them distributed teams which are given collaborative technologies refered to as “groupwares”. As there is a wide range of products, with many different features, to be used in many working environments, the issue to be raised is one of choice for team managers. The purpose of this paper is therefore to suggest a list of criteria that would enable group managers to choose groupwares that are best adapted to their own teams. In the first part, we will present the theorical framework concerning the distributed teams, defining the main variables to be taken into account when making a choice:—groupwares, communication patterns, tasks, people and teams made up. In the second part, we researched into organisational patterns so as to test these variables with surveys and longitudinal studies. The main findings were to stress the necessity to develop group—working platforms, instead of using standard groupwares, and, to question the validity of Daft and Lengel's theory about media richness.
