SOCOPSE (http // www.socopse.se/) was an EU-funded project (2006-2009) within the sixth framework programme (FP6-2005-global-4, Topic II 3.1), with the overall objective to support the implementation process for the WFD by providing guidelines and a decision support system (DSS) for the management of priority substances (PS).

The Drug Information Framework enables developers to build healthcare solutions faster, using the time-tested NDDF Plus knowledge base and critical decision-support modules. The Framework gives developers a choice of technologies and access layers, so it can adapt to most platforms, operating systems, development tools, and relational databases. Application environments can include the Internet client/server networks stand-alone desktops and handheld wireless devices. 

Converting this understanding into knowledge nsing an integrated catchment modelling framework and the creation of risk-based decision support tools. 

An appropriate decision support system design framework will consider each of the three principal components of decision support systems—a DBMS, an MBMS, and a DGMS—and their interrelations and interactions. Figure 3 illustrates the interconnection of these three generic components and illustrates the interaction of the decision maker with the system through the DGMS. We will describe some of the other components in this figure soon. 

This thesis aims at providing a general framework for building a tactical/strategical decision support model to optimize (large-scaled) chemical production networks. This framework consists of three core parts ... 

Systematic methodologies to generate new design alternatives have also been proposed (Halim and Srinivasan, 2008, 2009). A different approach where indicators, heuristics, and process model are combined to provide decision support in retrofitting of chemical batch processes has also been developed (Simon et al, 2008). The developed framework considers the identification of improvement opportunities in a batch plant by considering first the product market situation. The batch plant analysis is structured on three levels the plant, the process, and the unit operation level, respectively. The analysis of these levels is based on indicators which are of various types and specific for each analysis level. These indicators are linked to heuristics which are used to identify the retrofit actions.
