Knowledge Management in Environmental Decision Support Systems

We discuss in this paper how the results of the discipline known as Knowledge Management could improve some types of Environmental Systems. In particular we discuss Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS). In the last decade, EDSS emerged as a suitable software tool to support control decisiondmaking to maximize the performance of a system and to minimize the negative impact of faults. Knowledge Management in Environmental Decision Support Systems appear as a necessity for EDSS users to place guarantees on the system's behavior but these methodologies are still underdexplored. In this paper, a first approach to put forward a Knowledge Management Methodology by identifying the most relevant issues, is introduced and discussed.
