whitepaper Using Modeling and Simulation for Policy Decision Support in Identity Management2009-03-21 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The process of making IT (security) policy decisions, within organizations, is complex: it involves reaching consensus between a set of stakeholders (key decision makers, e.g. CISOs/CIOs, domain experts, etc.) who might have different views, opinions and biased perceptions of how policies need to be shaped. This involves multiple negotiations and interactions between stakeholders. This suggests two roles for policy decision support tools and methods: firstly to help an individual stakeholder test, refine their understanding of the situation and, secondly, to support the formation of consensus by helping stakeholders to share their assumptions and conclusions.

whitepaper Smart Decision-Making in the New Era of Financial Challenges: How Monte Carlo Modeling Can Help Manage Risk, Improve Forecasting, and Drive Growth in Turbulent Times2009-03-01 Oracle
  People, businesses and nations seem fated to view much of their financial history in terms of "If only." When it comes to finances, fair warning is literally worth its weight in gold. But such foresight is valuable only when there are the will, the means, and the capability to apply it. Today, the consequences of profound financial and monetary miscalculations continue to mount. The challenges are to regain confidence and achieve clarity on alternatives so one can move into recovery and address the damage to infrastructure and individual companies. Today, one confronts a more challenging landscape than one has faced in recent memory. For myriad reasons, traditional planning did not serve one well. Managers face new levels of accountability and keen public scrutiny in their decision-making.

whitepaper Methodology of Adaptation of Data Mining Methods for Medical Decision Support: Case Study2009-02-09 Kaunas University of Technology
  Data mining is a problem solving technique, which analyzes the data already stored in the data base. It is a process of discovering, classifying and finding patterns in data. The classification of data helps to make a decision in different types of problems. Machine Learning, Statistical and Neural Network algorithms are applied for efficient data mining. The problem is to find algorithms suitable to apply in order to discover relationships between data attributes and make predictions that could be useful for decision support. In addition, there are several well known medical data problems, such as incorrect and sparse information and temporal data. To deal with these problems there are supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms.

whitepaper Standardised Battlespace SOA2009-02-01 Quocirca
  Network Centric Operations (NCO) recognises the demand for pervasive decision-making in the modern battlespace. NCO provides the ability to leverage information networks to generate a more dynamic and agile decision-making space. An important dimension of this approach is the technological flexibility to quickly move the decision-making authority hierarchically or geographically as the situation demands. A fundamental enabler to this approach is the concept of a Services Orientated Architecture (SOA). The use of industry-standard IT architectures provides the means of ensuring that systems can be provisioned rapidly, can be shared as appropriate, and can give the flexibility and response times required within such challenging environments.
