Industrial decision support system (IDSS) in weed control and management strategies : expert advice using descriptive schemata and explanatory capabilities

This paper details the implementation of an industrial decision support system (IDSS) application to provide expert advice on weed control and management strategies. Due to the qualitative and subjective nature of the strategies, output based intensively on conventional and numerical data poses a level of complexity that can hinder stakeholders from interpreting the data and applying the results effectively to the problem area. To overcome this, the IDSS application employs descriptive schemata and self-generated explanations.
