Book Description
The objective of this thesis was to develop the required tools to solve a relatively comprehensive telecommunications network design optimisation problem. It can be summarised as a Minimum Cost-Flow Capacitated Network Design Problem with multiple facilities, multiple commodities and constrained by performance and survivability requirements. The resulting optimisation model is supported by one mixed-integer/linear mathematical programming formulation and implemented in a 32-bit GUI-based network design tool for automation purposes. Throughout its developmert, the model was tested and validated with randomly generated design problems. The base case application, from which the design requirements were derived, is the National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The area of interest on the NDHQ MAN is the inter-building router backbone, where expensive leased facilities are installed to inter-connect buildings routers. As a result of this thesis, an interactive tool was developed, which provides network design and analysis capabilities. Its impact on the NDHQ MAN was lowered because of the limitations in the data available and significant changes to the network environment, but the results obtained proved very insightful in validating the performance and accuracy of the model.

Book Description
Decision support systems (DSS) are widely touted for their effectiveness in aiding decision making, particularly across a wide and diverse range of industries including healthcare, business, and engineering applications. The concepts, principles, and theories of enhanced decision making are essential points of research as well as the exact methods, tools, and technologies being implemented in these industries. From both a standpoint of DSS interfaces, namely the design and development of these technologies, along with the implementations, including experiences and utilization of these tools, one can get a better sense of how exactly DSS has changed the face of decision making and management in multi-industry applications. Furthermore, the evaluation of the impact of these technologies is essential in moving forward in the future. The Research Anthology on Decision Support Systems and Decision Management in Healthcare, Business, and Engineering explores how decision support systems have been developed and implemented across diverse industries through perspectives on the technology, the utilizations of these tools, and from a decision management standpoint. The chapters will cover not only the interfaces, implementations, and functionality of these tools, but also the overall impacts they have had on the specific industries mentioned. This book also evaluates the effectiveness along with benefits and challenges of using DSS as well as the outlook for the future. This book is ideal for decision makers, IT consultants and specialists, software developers, design professionals, academicians, policymakers, researchers, professionals, and students interested in how DSS is being used in different industries.
