Distributed knowledge management based on product state models — the case of decision support in health care administration

Abstract: Knowledge management has inspired a shift from a transaction to a distributed knowledge management (DKM) perspective on inter-organizational information processing. The DKM concept structures the knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and knowledge exploitation in organizations according to a product state model (PSM) required for management of technological diversity. Each player in the network acquires specific knowledge from other players for decision support. This article shows the relevance of the DKM model in a case study of a distributed decision support system (DDSS) in health care administration in the US.

The design of an investment portfolio selection decision support system using two expert systems and a consulting system

Abstract: :Two expert systems form the basis for the design of a consulting system that provides advice for selecting an investment portfolio for an individual. Current economic indicators are compared with an investor’s financial goals and constraints by one expert system to augment the other. The first expert system distributes its domain knowledge to the second. Subsequent to this knowledge sharing, the second expert system matches a person’s financial attributes, goals, and risk preferences with investment choices to recommend portfolio mixes. The consulting system suggests portfolio mixes that are preferred by experienced investment counselors within the boundaries of the Decision Support System (dss) output.
