Graphic Output dxf.; shp., jpeg, gif, tiff shp. Print Report? Yes No Ease of use SADA has an intuitive graphical interface that allows the analyst to use all of its features. More advanced tasks require training. DESYRE requests GIS (ArcMap) and Oracle database knowledge in order to run the modules developed inside the DSS. Usage Several examples of its use are provided on its web page. Few case studies done for research and educational purposes. Stage of development Mature product that has been available for several years. Continually being updated and improved. Enhanced versions released periodically. Intermediate version of the DSS available for research and educational purposes at Venice Research Consortium in Venice, Italy.
