Case Study Ideas

This is a page where anyone can add ideas for potential case studies.

There are also cases being proposed in conjunction with STSMs, please see the Category:STSM_Opportunity page.

By DSS

EMDS

• The use of EMDS in the assessment of spotted owl disperal habitat for the state of Washington, USA (personal experience and contacts of Sean Gordon)

• To identify computer based KM tools which support the processes of knowledge identification and generation, knowledge storage and transfer in the context of the topic identifying adaption strategies for Climate change.

Knowledge Management

• To consider common issues of participation processes and Knowledge Management processes in DSS approaches for the formulation of the FORSYS guidelines
• Gap analysis for identifying the KM techniques applied in developing DSS and proposing those which could be used
• Gap analysis for identifying KM techniques currently implemented in DSS based on the documentation in the CR
