Decision Support System (DSS)
The Decision Support System (DSS) is one of the main results of the SAMS project. In general, DSS can be defined as any system that assists in any kind of decision making[1][2][3]. DSS is used to mainly support the decision-makers, but not to replace them. In this case to assist the beekeepers in their daily apiary management. In other words, DSS is a system, which is used for automatic data analysis with the main aim to recognize the status of the monitored object. DSS can help to automatically identify different bee colony states and inform the beekeeper if some activities are necessary. To assess the status of a honeybee colony, the beekeeper must inspect the colonies physically on site. This procedure is time-consuming and raises stress to the colony which then leads to an interruption of their daily work (and at the end of the productivity). Application of modern information and communications technology (ICT) can help to solve this issue. Precision beekeeping (PB) is a scientific direction that combines ICT and beekeeping. PB is defined as an apiary management strategy that focuses on individual bee colony monitoring in order to minimize resource consumption and maximize the productivity of bees. By applying precision beekeeping methodology, the continuous and remote monitoring of the bee colonies may be a useful tool to decrease the number of physical inspections, support the management of honeybee health, colony development and even bee productivity.
The DSS User Interface
The DSS SAMS user interface for beekeepers is based on the user research. It was scribbled and prioritized during the UCD SAMS prototyping workshop in Bandung, July 2019. The user interface (UI) prototype of the DSS SAMS data display for beekeepers (for mobile devices) was then developed in Figma software by CV.PI. The iterative development process was discussed during regular virtual meetings dedicated to this topic with the SAMS partner and consortium members; UNILV, GIZ and ICEADDIS. According to the usability tests with four Ethiopian and five Indonesian beekeepers (end-users), the interface prototype (in English, Amharic and Bahasa Indonesia) was refined. The user interface prototype in English, Amharic and Bahasa Indonesia in 8 iterations with 2 design versions of the SAMS data display for beekeepers is available open-source for further elaboration and for developing an app to facilitate a business.
