Proceedings of the Workshop: Development of Biological Decision Support Systems for Resource Managers

Abstract

The format for this 3-day workshop (27-29 October 1998) included plenary presentations by USGS Biological Resources Division (BRD) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel who use and develop decision support systems (DSS); breakout sessions addressing DSS technical information aspects, outreach/customer requirements, and future perspectives; and a DSS Steering Committee meeting to evaluate workshop goals and to provide guidance for future efforts. Steering committee action items developed from workshop inputs were to (1) develop a 'DSS framework' document for use in biological research, (2) develop a 'proof of concept' DSS based upon the framework document, and (3) integrate decision support systems into BRD program elements.
