**Networking: A Decision Support Process with XREAP**

Although social workers provide diverse assistance, the incidence of suicide is still high in Taiwan [20]. However, due to cultural characteristics, people who own suicidal ideation of‐ ten reluctant to seek help as well as passively wait for help. The social networking (SN) be‐ comes one of the social tools. Some users utilize it to interact with their friends and express

Several real suicide cases are rescued by notifying from the messages of the SN [1] [2] , how‐ ever, the evidence is not enough for endorsing amount of the budgets to emerge the suicide prevention (SP) process to the SN. Therefore, it is a problem for decision-makers to decide which user groups are the targets for the SP in the SN, what kind of the messages are keys for the SP and have to be extracted from the SN [10] , when is the best time to emerge the SP process to the SN, which region is the best place for trial, and which SN is the best adopting platform? The decision-making is not only medical-oriented, but also technology-oriented.

This chapter illustrates an explicit decision support process for management of software re‐ quirements elicitation and analysis. As Shi, *et al.* [15] illustrates their research outcomes by utilizing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as the basis of their decision support sys‐ tem to help decision-makers to distinguish regional environmental risk zones. Similarly, Sutcliffe, *et al.* [19] tries to visualize the requirements by user-centred design (UCD) methods in their visual decision support tools to support public health professionals in their analysis activities.
