The work of WP1 (MoU) - DSS Architecture and Design

It will result in reports on guidelines for good practices to assist overall system design, quality control, integration, sharing, and use. It will focus on design processes and different architectures to build a DSS. It will address innovative ways of ...

  1. managing the MBMS to improve the effectiveness of forest DSSs,
  2. designing interfaces between DSS modules and end-users to make use of various forms of information and knowledge,
  3. extracting and processing of data from traditional sources as well as remote sensing
  4. integrating methodologies into forest DSSs that will enhance the ability to support social learning and participation”.

Subtasks:

  1. Review of multifunctional planning issues and DSS functional criteria
  2. Evaluation of forest DSS case studies
  3. Procedural framework and guidelines on good practices

Working program for 2011

  1. Contact person for each DSS presented in the WIKI – possibility to ask questions about the content of a DSS-article: The responsible people for the country reports should determine a contact person for each DSS related to their country and presented on the WIKI. The contact person should be mentioned with e-mail at the very beginning of the WIKI-article. The contact person should be able to answer questions that readers might ask.
  2. Problem dimensions as categories in the WIKI – basis for determining the main utility of a DSS: The responsible person for the country reports should also ensure that each DSS is described in the WIKI by in categories according to the problem dimensions. These dimensions build the basis for determining the problem types. A WIKI-page should be dedicated to these particular categories, and at least a list of the dimensions should be produced, e.g., copy and paste them.
  3. Categories in the WIKI – basis for the search of a particular DSS: A curation of the categories is necessary (e.g., singular / plural). Guidelines should be determined preliminarily (e.g., solely the use of singular) and highlighted in the WIKI. WG1 organises this curation in collaboration with the other WGs, as well as with the STC. In a first step, only formal guidelines will be produced.
