This paper applies the theory of information space for a study of dialogue management in major approaches, ranging from the classical approach based upon finite state machine to the most recent approach using partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP). After identifying the problems of current approaches, this paper proposes a modified approach of POMDP-based dialogue management. This new...
Logistics distribution center's location-selection refers to that in an economic region consisting of a number of demand points and a number of alternative points, one or more addresses are screened out from a number of alternative points to set up distribution centers in the planning process. Hereon, in order to conquer the shortage of the traditional location-selection methods, this paper proposes...
Information systems (IS) outsourcing decision is a complex problem that is often faced by the decision makers involved in the planning process. There is a few of literature that addresses the IS outsourcing decision making process in a quantitative way. Given the multi-attribute nature of IS outsourcing decision, this paper argues that five factors, including, strategy, economics, risk, environment...

This paper sketches how forest management functions in Europe and how knowledge about forest ecosystems can be instilled into the planning process via models. Simulation models support decisions by scenario analysis, which display the consequences of management options with respect to decisive system variables. While elsewhere plantations for intensive wood-production are separated from forests for...
