A Context-based Prototype for decision making in database administration
Abstract
Decision Support Systems (DSS) have a great role in assisting decision makers in many organizations to identify and solve problems in order to make decisions. In the area of database management, many approaches have been used to automate procedures set for complex activities such as performance and database recovery. However, procedures need to be contextualized in order to take into account the permanent changing of technical and social contextual elements added in DBA (Database Administrator) practices. This paper presents a context-based prototype for decision making to support experts in database management and administration. The prototype uses a software-modeling tool called Contextual Graphs (CxG).
