(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of the Decision Support System within the field of multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA). The MCDA tools have been incorporated into systems to create Multi-Criteria Decision ...
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Flywheels are one of the oldest and most popular energy storage media owing to the simplicity of storing kinetic energy in a rotating mass. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) can be used in different applications, for ...
Designing Decision Support Systems for Humanitarian Organisations
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2015 , Book chapter)
The first step to ensure the success of applications in a specific field consists in producing a complete and representative model of the studied system. This alignment with reality is not easy to achieve though. This is ...
