- I am a new reader to this group, so I apologize if this is an
- inappropriate or frequently asked question.
-
- I am interested in finding more information about the application of
- real-time Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS). Specifically I am
- looking for a GDSS-type system used in a distributed environment. I
- would appreciate any information on research or actual
- implementations of such systems. Systems used for real-time
- operations (e.g. network control) or crisis management are of
- primary interest. Applications of voice/data conferencing systems
- may also prove useful.
-
- My application: I am looking into automation techniques for a future
- management system. The system will help coordinate real-time
- traffic flows in the National Airspace System (NAS). Decision-makers
- are geographically dispersed with individual jurisdictions in a loosely
- hierarchical fashion. They will need to share data and predictions, as
- well as coordinate proposed solution strategies. The NAS essentially
- "resets" daily. Operators must respond to predicted (e.g.,
- thunderstorms) and unforeseen (e.g., equipment failures) disruptions
- to traffic flow while minimizing delays and preventing overloads of
- resources.
-
- Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. If you
- can point me to other appropriate netnews groups that would also help.
- Thank you in advance.
