As a highly concentrated residential area, urban development and population concentration have caused serious environmental pollution problems that threaten the safety of the water and atmospheric resources that humans rely on for survival. To address this issue, the importance of urban green space (UGS) has become increasingly prominent. This paper collected data related to UGS (green space coverage, vegetation type, environmental quality, population distribution, etc.) for processing, used the entropy algorithm to build an ecological environment assessment model, and then used the particle swarm optimisation algorithm to optimise the model accordingly. Finally, a decision support system was proposed for UGS ecological environment planning, which comprehensively considered future environmental changes. Through comparison before and after the application of decision support system, this paper tested and verified several indicators such as green space coverage, biological diversity index, and climate adaptability. Among them, after the application of the decision support system, the green space coverage rate has increased year by year, and many indicators in the biological diversity index have improved significantly. The average climate adaptability of traditional UGS planning was 70 %, while the average climate adaptability of decision support system green space planning was 90 %, which has been significantly improved. The outcome shows that the system has a notable effect in improving the climate adaptation and ecological quality of the city.
The main interest in introducing maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) is centered on communication, autonomous navigation, and collision avoidance systems. This paper presents a more comprehensive approach, accounting for selected issues relating to navigation safety, ship operation, maritime rescue, and decision support systems for the MASS remote managing operator. The technical solutions for improving the safety of MASS operation are described, and the decision support system (DSS) for the MASS operator, based on the stochastic model of the process describing the safety of MASS operation, is proposed. The presented analysis can be used to build a computer program and an integrated decision support system that increases the safety and reliability of the MASS operator’s decision-making process.
Increased competition has led businesses to compete with each other in streamlining supply chain processes, especially in the manufacturing sector. Supply Chain Management (SCM) determines the success of industrial business processes because it regulates product flow regarding integration, performance, and information. However, several problems have emerged in the supply chain process, such as a lack of coordination in the production queue, difficulties in forecasting trending products, and suboptimal production capacity. To address these issues, the role of information technology is crucial for implementing a Decision Support System (DSS). This study aims to develop a DSS to improve the supply chain processes. The research method used is Extreme Programming (XP) with a qualitative approach through a questionnaire. The research process involves collecting data, defining boundaries and problems, and designing, coding, and testing the system. As a final step, evaluation is carried out by distributing surveys to obtain valid satisfaction results. This research produces a DSS that has applicability in marketing, accounting, and production processes. The application of DSS in the furniture manufacturing industry can help manage the movement of resources, optimize strategic networks, and assist decision-making in the supply chain process.
W ostatnich latach obserwuje się istotny wzrost zagrożeń bezpieczeństwa dzieci w cyberprzestrzeni. Do tych o największym ciężarze gatunkowym należą angażowanie dzieci w nielegalne zachowania online (np. uwodzenie, nagabywanie czy szantaż na tle seksualnym), a także wytwarzanie nacechowanych seksualnie treści z ich udziałem. W tej sytuacji podstawowego znaczenia nabiera budowanie wśród najmłodszych członków naszego społeczeństwa świadomości cyberzagrożeń oraz nabywanie przez nich umiejętności bezpiecznego korzystania z przypisanych cyberprzestrzeni produktów i usług. Podstawowym działaniem na rzecz skutecznej ochrony dzieci w tym środowisku jest także wczesne wykrywanie i zgłaszanie odpowiednim organom występujących w nim przypadków nielegalnych zachowań i treści. Ważną rolę odgrywają zespoły takie jak Dyżurnet. pl2, do którego zadań należy obecnie reagowanie na zgłoszone przez użytkowników cyberprzestrzeni potencjalnie nielegalne treści, a w najbliższej przyszłości być może także prowadzenie proaktywnych działań w tym obszarze. Doświadczenia Dyżurnet.pl jednoznacznie pokazują, że skuteczne wykrywanie takich treści wymaga automatyzacji działań i odpowiednich narzędzi informatycznych. W artykule został prezentowany nowatorski system monitorowania sieci i wspomagania decyzji wykorzystujący metody sztucznej inteligencji, w tym uczenia głębokiego do automatycznego wykrywania potencjalnie szkodliwych materiałów takich, jak: treści przedstawiające wykorzystywanie seksualne dzieci (Child Sexual Abuse Material – CSAM), treści erotyczne z udziałem dzieci, treści pornograficzne z wytworzonym lub przetworzonym obrazem dziecka oraz stanowiące pornografię z udziałem dorosłych.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in threats to children’s safety in cyberspace. The most serious of these include children’s participation in illegal online activities and the production of sexually explicit content involving them. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to build awareness of cyber threats among our society’s youngest members and teach them skills for the safe use of products and services assigned to cyberspace. A key action for effectively protecting children in this environment is the early detection and reporting to the relevant authorities of illegal behavior and child abuse content. Teams such as Dyżurnet.pl, whose tasks currently include responding to potentially illegal content reported by cyberspace users, and in the near future, possibly also conducting proactive activities in this area, play an important role here. The experience of Dyżurnet.pl clearly shows that effective detection of such content requires automation of activities and appropriate IT tools. This paper presents a novel network monitoring and decision support system using artificial intelligence methods, including deep learning, to automatically detect potentially harmful material, such as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), erotic content involving children, pornographic content with a created or processed image of a child and pornography involving adults.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a very important part of the industrial world, especially in the manufacturing sector. The development of the business world affects the complexity of the supply chain due to the lack of logistics infrastructure, quality of materials and components, and much more. Supply chain disruption risk mapping needs to be done due to high uncertainty, which is overcome by implementing a decision support system. Based on the background of the problem, supply chain disruption mapping uses the help of the Six Sigma method, which consists of 5 stages: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). The measurement of disturbance also uses the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach to prioritize risk. Risks that have a high assessment and cause failure need to be prioritized for improvement. This study aims to map supply chain disruptions in the current manufacturing industry based on the barriers, resistances, and causes detected for making a decision support system prototype. By implementing a decision support system in the supply chain process, it is hoped that the manufacturing industry can minimize potential losses from existing risks.
The paper presents the concept and deployment of the agro-hydro-meteorological monitoring system (abbrev. AgHMM) created for the purposes of operational planning of regulated drainage and irrigation on the scale of a drainage/irrigation system (INOMEL project). Monitoring system involved regular daily (weekly readings) measurements of agrometeorological and hydrological parameters in water courses at melioration object during vegetation seasons. The measurement results enable an assessment of the meteorological conditions, moisture changes in the 0-60 cm soil profile, fluctuations of groundwater levels at quarters and testing points, also water levels in ditches and at dam structures, and water flow in water courses. These data were supplemended by 7-day meteorological forecast parameter predictions, served as input data for a model of operational planning of drainage and subirrigation at the six melioration systems in Poland. In addition, it was carried out irregular remote sensing observations of plant condition, water consumption by plants and soil moisture levels using imagery taken by unmanned aerial vehicles and Sentinel’s satellites. All the collected data was used for support operational activities aimed at maintaining optimal soil moisture for plant growth and should to provide farmers with high and stable yields. An example of the practical operations using the AgHMM system in 2019 is shown on the basis of the subirrigation object at permanent grasslands located in central Poland called “Czarny Rów B1”.
Digital signal processing, such as filtering, information extraction, and fusion of various results, is currently an integral part of advanced medical therapies. It is especially important in neurosurgery during deep-brain stimulation procedures. In such procedures, the surgical target is accessed using special electrodes while not being directly visible. This requires very precise identification of brain structures in 3D space throughout the surgery. In the case of deep-brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD), the target area—the subthalamic nucleus (STN)—is located deep within the brain. It is also very small (just a few millimetres across), which makes this procedure even more difficult. For this reason, various signals are acquired, filtered, and finally fused, to provide the neurosurgeon with the exact location of the target. These signals come from preoperative medical imaging (such as MRI and CT), and from recordings of brain activity carried out during surgery using special brain-implanted electrodes. Using the method described in this paper, it is possible to construct a decision-support system that, during surgery, analyses signals recorded within the patient’s brain and classifies them as recorded within the STN or not. The constructed classifier discriminates signals with a sensitivity of 0.97 and a specificity of 0.96. The described algorithm is currently used for deep-brain stimulation surgeries among PD patients.
The suitability of a land plot in a real estate market could be identified as a good investment because the land plot is deemed as popular. This activity is important for economic growth, who is one of the sustainable development goals. Mostly, all research in this field is focused on sustainability as well as the opinions of professionals. However, this field should be explored from another side which is based on real geodata. Criteria and its weight are very important in decision support systems. The correct criteria can help in selection of the best real estate object for an investment, but it is not only useful but also and a challenging task that has not yet been solved. The methods of research are data graphical analysis, correlation, decision supporting systems, etc. The research aims at determining the significance of the connections and using them as the criteria in the selected decision supporting method. In addition, it will be determined which decision supporting method defines the most suitable object for investment. These new criteria are proposed for operation in the land use models. Furthermore, it has been identified as one criterion, which is significant in the urban and agrarian territories. Also it turned out, that the land plot is the most active when it is as far from a densely built-up residential territory as possible and as close to a school, and when the land plot is as large as possible.
This article discusses the results of studies using the developed artificial neural networks in the analysis of the occurrence of the four main mechanisms destroying the selected forging tools subjected to five different surface treatment variants (nitrided layer, pad welded layer and three hybrid layers, i.e. AlCrTiSiN, Cr/CrN and Cr/AlCrTiN). Knowledge of the forging tool durability, needed in the process of artificial neural network training, was included in the set of training data (about 800 records) derived from long-term comprehensive research carried out under industrial conditions. Based on this set, neural networks with different architectures were developed and the results concerning the intensity of the occurrence of thermal-mechanical fatigue, abrasive wear, mechanical fatigue and plastic deformation were generated for each type of the applied treatment relative to the number of forgings, pressure, friction path and temperature.
The article herein presents the method and algorithms for forming the feature space for the base of intellectualized system knowledge for the support system in the cyber threats and anomalies tasks. The system being elaborated might be used both autonomously by cyber threat services analysts and jointly with information protection complex systems. It is shown, that advised algorithms allow supplementing dynamically the knowledge base upon appearing the new threats, which permits to cut the time of their recognition and analysis, in particular, for cases of hard-to-explain features and reduce the false responses in threat recognizing systems, anomalies and attacks at informatization objects. It is stated herein, that collectively with the outcomes of previous authors investigations, the offered algorithms of forming the feature space for identifying cyber threats within decisions making support system are more effective. It is reached at the expense of the fact, that, comparing to existing decisions, the described decisions in the article, allow separate considering the task of threat recognition in the frame of the known classes, and if necessary supplementing feature space for the new threat types. It is demonstrated, that new threats features often initially are not identified within the frame of existing base of threat classes knowledge in the decision support system. As well the methods and advised algorithms allow fulfilling the time-efficient cyber threats classification for a definite informatization object.

The paper presents a method of supporting decision-making under risk by a risk- -averse decision-maker. Decision-making under risk occurs when the outcome of the system is ambiguous and depends on the state of the environment. The problem is considered as a multi-criteria optimization. The decision support method consists of interactive conduct of the process of decision-making. The decision is made by means of solving a problem with controlling parameters, which determine the aspirations of the decision-maker and evaluating the obtained solutions. The decision-maker sets parameters for which a solution is determined. Subsequently, he or she assesses the obtained solution, accepting or rejecting it. In the latter case, the decision-maker sets new values for the parameters and the problem is solved again. The present paper presents a discrete example of support for decision making under risk.
Cross-docking is a strategy that distributes products directly from a supplier or manufacturing plant to a customer or retail chain, reducing handling or storage time. This study focuses on the truck scheduling problem, which consists of assigning each truck to a door at the dock and determining the sequences for the trucks at each door considering the time-window aspect. The study presents a mathematical model for door assignment and truck scheduling with time windows at multi-door cross-docking centers. The objective of the model is to minimize the overall earliness and tardiness for outbound trucks. Simulated annealing (SA) and tabu search (TS) algorithms are proposed to solve largesized problems. The results of the mathematical model and of meta-heuristic algorithms are compared by generating test problems for different sizes. A decision support system (DSS) is also designed for the truck scheduling problem for multi-door cross-docking centers. Computational results show that TS and SA algorithms are efficient in solving large-sized problems in a reasonable time.

This article concerns a decision-support system based on artificial neural networks (ANN) enabling analysis and forecasting of the durability of forging tools used in the hot forging process of a cover forging – a sealing element of the driveshaft in road freight vehicles. The process of knowledge acquisition, adopted neural network architecture and parameters of the developed network are presented. In addition, 3 variants of a hybrid layer (gas nitrided layer GN + PVD coating) were applied to the selected tools (punches applied in the 2nd top forging operation): GN/AlCrTiN, GN/AlCrTiSiN, and GN/CrN, in order to improve durability, and the resultant tools were also compared to standard tools (with only gas nitriding) and regenerated tools (after repair welding regeneration). The indispensable knowledge about the durability of selected forging tools (after various surface engineering variants), required for the process of learning, testing and validation for various neural network architectures was obtained from comprehensive, multi-year studies. These studies covered, among other things: operational observation of the forging process, macroscopic analysis combined with scanning of tools’ working surfaces, microhardness measurements, microstructural analysis and numerical modeling of the forging process. The developed machine-learning dataset was a collection of approx. 900 knowledge records. The input (independent) variables were: number of forgings manufactures, pressing forces, temperature on selected tool surfaces, friction path and type of protective layer applied to tool. Meanwhile, output (dependent) variables were: geometrical loss of tool material and percentage share of the four main destructive mechanisms. Obtained results indicate the validity of employing ANN-based IT tools to build decision-support systems for the purpose of analyzing and forecasting the durability of forging tools.
