Computer-based decision support system design

Created in 1982, FARAD is a computer-based decision support system designed to provide livestock producers, extension specialists, and veterinarians with practical advice on how to avoid drug, pesticide, and environmental contaminant residue problems when products are used in an extralabel manner. It serves as the largest repository of animal pharmacokinetic data in the world, maintaining an up-to-date computerized compilation of current label information (including withdrawal times) on all drugs approved... 

Preliminary results of my study are based on a literature review. Future work includes the development of experiments and the validation of the hypotheses. The principles produced will be used to support system designers in making decisions about the usage of three modalities (i.e. visual, audio, and haptic) in a ubiquitous computing context.
