A comparative study of methodologies for designing IDSSs
Article Abstract:
The majority of software developers developing Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) were found to have employed a variety of informal methodologies to such an extent that a majority of the IDSS software development effort is dependent on informal methodologies. This runs counter to the basic principles of software development, since the rationale for a formal methodology is to standardize development. This use of informal methodologies in IDSS development is theorized to be based on cultural and information factors, especially since many software developers come from different technical backgrounds.

Strategic planning of transportation services for petroleum products: an application of capacitated gravity models
Article Abstract:
Capacitated gravity models are useful in assessing the distribution economics in cases where there are capacity constraints at individual facilities and on the aggregate capacity of groups of facilities served by the same pipeline segment. They can be calibrated when there is only partial information about competitors' deliveries. The application of these models in the strategic planning of physical facilities and pricing of services for the distribution of petroleum products of Williams Pipe Line Co., a large, independent carrier of refined petroleum products is described.
