Potential of University in Novi Sad

Objectives:
• Implement contemporary systems analysis and decision-making methods and computerized tools in natural
resources planning and management
• Develop and implement advanced methodologies for individual and group decision-making
Activities:
• Modeling river basin systems (network modeling; combined optimization and simulation)
• Decision support in water resources and agriculture

• Developing decision-making methodologies, methods and tools
• Decision-making in individual and group contexts supported by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)
• Development and application of combined network simulation-optimization models for simulating large scale river basin systems operation
• Application of heursitics and metaheuristics in natural resources management
• Development and application of evolution based and other stochastic optimization algorithms (genetic, evolutionary strategies, ant colony systems, simulated annealing, etc.)
• SWOT/PESTLE analyses in water resources.
