摘要

The objective of this project was to develop a computer-based manual ofinstruction by implementing tools and techniques normally used for the development of rule-based decision support systems. The firs section, Glossary, defines concepts and terms which appear in the remainder of the document. The Review of Literature provides an overview of decision support systems applied to water resource and multimedia applications. The Features section describes the various features and enhancements incorporated into the final application. The Development Tools section describes the evaluation and selection of software tools needed to implement the desired features. The Authoring Process section describes how the information within the manual was organized and how the various features were integrated into the application using commercial authoring tools and rule-based decision support system technology. The Evaluation section presents the results of evaluation performed by fourteen professionals at the Utah Department of Transportation and the authors of the Drainage Library. The Conclusions section presents the final conclusions of this project.
