Description
Summary:This study initiates the preliminary design of a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) especially for Universiti Kuala Lumpur's (UniKL) staff development focusing on further studies module. This will help decision makers in making complex choice, that is to decide a group of academic staff to further their studies from 8 branch campuses and 2 faculties that specialized in 40 different field of study, whether in local university or oversea, part time mode or full time mode, the area of study, costs and etc. that must aligned with further studies requirement, economic and policies issues. This involves designing a user friendly front-end, a database and "what-if" analysis for ranking process back-end. The approaches taken for this study was based on the methodology of problem definition, system analysis and system design. The design of this study is influenced of geography and spatial variables as determinants for further studies module, that is, the spatial dimension of the problem for further studies module. Attempts are increasing being made to use Geographical Information System (GIS) for further studies module analysis and visualization in the emerging field of further studies mapping sees which further studies maps as useful input into decision-making. This paper describes the preliminary design of the Geographic Targeting Geo-lnformation System (GTGIS), which integrates various GIS tools, further studies module data modeling and Decision Support System's (DSS) capabilities of choice modeling for UniKL staff development management. Besides, the design of this study also incorporates multi-agent by using the RETSINA multi-agent architecture.
