A GIS-based Adaptive Management Decision Support System to Develop a Multi-Objective Framework: A case study utilizing GIS technologies and physically-based models to archieve improved decision making for site management.

Journal Article Coleman, Andre M ; Wigmosta, Mark S ; Lane, Leonard J ; ... - Journal of Map & Geography Libraries, 4(2):269 - 284

The notion of Adaptive Management (AM) allows for the realization and adjustment of management practices in response to elements of uncertainty. In terms of natural resource management, this will typically integrate monitoring, databases, simulation modeling, decision theory, and expert judgment to evaluate management alternatives and adapt them as necessary to continually improve the natural resource condition as defined by the stakeholders. Natural resource management scenarios can often be expressed, viewed, and understood as a spatial and temporal problem. The integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and physically-based models provide an effective state-of-the-art solution for deriving, understanding, and applying AMmore »« less

Integrated supply/demand decision support system

Conference Farber, M A ; Brusger, E C - Energy Technol. (Wash., D.C.); (United States)

The Decision/Simulation System is an innovative utility planning tool that facilitates the analysis of risk. It was developed by Temple, Barker and Sloane, Inc., and M.S. Gerber and Associates for the Electric Power Research Institute. Three features distinguish this framework from other planning models: The Decision System uses a generalized decision analysis approach. The Simulation System addresses the critical aspects of integrated demand-supply planning. The complete model runs on a micro-computer. 10 figures, 1 tables.
Integrated environmental decision support tool based on GIS technology

Conference Doctor, P G ; O`Neil, T K ; Sackschewsky, M R ; ...

Environmental restoration and management decisions facing the US Department of Energy require balancing trade-offs between diverse land uses and impacts over multiple spatial and temporal scales. Many types of environmental data have been collected for the Hanford Site and the Columbia River in Washington State over the past fifty years. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is integrating these data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) based computer decision support tool. This tool provides a comprehensive and concise description of the current environmental landscape that can be used to evaluate the ecological and monetary trade-offs between future land use, restoration andmore »« less
Integrating biomass quality variability in stochastic supply chain modeling and optimization for large-scale biofuel production

Journal Article Castillo-Villar, Krystel K. ; Eksioglu, Sandra ; Taherkhorsandi, Milad - Journal of Cleaner Production

The production of biofuels using second-generation feedstocks has been recognized as an important alternative source of sustainable energy and its demand is expected to increase due to regulations such as the Renewable Fuel Standard. However, the pathway to biofuel industry maturity faces unique, unaddressed challenges. Here, to address this challenges, this article presents an optimization model which quantifies and controls the impact of biomass quality variability on supply chain related decisions and technology selection. We propose a two-stage stochastic programming model and associated efficient solution procedures for solving large-scale problems to (1) better represent the random nature of the biomassmore »« less

Integrated spatially explicit landscape and cellulosic biofuel supply chain optimization under biomass yield uncertainty

Journal Article O'Neill, Eric G. ; Martinez-Feria, Rafael A. ; Basso, Bruno ; ... - Computers and Chemical Engineering

This paper proposes an integrated stochastic mixed-integer linear programming model for biofuel supply chain and landscape design optimization that considers the interactions between uncertainty in biomass yield, spatially explicit feedstock availability, supply chain configuration, operational decisions, and the system's environmental impact. By modeling crop establishment and fertilization as strategic decisions made before the realization of uncertainty, model solutions identify integrated supply chain configurations better suited to mitigate uncertain biomass yields. Importantly, the paper presents an approach for gathering and processing the large amount of necessary real-world data, including an accurate accounting of soil carbon sequestration.
