Type: article
Abstract: Intelligent Environmental Decision Support Systems (IEDSS) are present in the environmental management process at different levels such as hazard identification, risk assessment, risk evaluation and intervention decision-making, but there is neither a well defined methodology nor a framework for the development of IEDSSs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a study on several approaches found in the literature to set-up a methodology and a plausible architecture for the development of IEDSSs. Also a general outlook into the classical decision making theories is done to provide a general and well based architecture. Taking into account the review of proposals, and some previous general architectures proposed by the authors, a new comprehensive architecture and associated methodology to develop an IEDSS for whatever domain is proposed. The methodology proposed and the architecture joins the main three cognitive tasks involved in a decision making process: analysis tasks, synthesis tasks, and prognosis tasks.
