- Description
- Decision support systems (DSS) have a wide variety of applications in management decisions and optimization of engineering processes. Nowadays, the construction industry calls for state-of-the-art mechanisms to take control of the waste generated on construction sites. Executives need advanced systems and technologies to help them get instant information from construction sites and control the activities in a way that minimum waste is generated. This paper explains how real-time multi-agent DSS as robust information technology tools can be applied to help control the environmental risks posed by construction operations. DSS provides a platform in which courses of actions from several teams are coordinated and corresponding massive data from the construction site are analyzed and compiled to support judgments. A qualitative study was conducted to identify how to design such a system using both machine and human agents. The results of this study constitute a basis for the detailed design of a waste control DSS that can be developed by programming experts.
