Decision support systems (DSS) have become increasingly important ype of computer-based information system. However, there has been limited research on management’s role, in DSS approval and administration. Because of this, the authors recently investigated eighteen decision support systems and report the findings here. The specific areas explored include motivations for developing a DSS, metho...

An architecture was developed from a synthesis of concepts derived from the literature and field observations to identify and integrate the total decision support (DSS) function in organizations. Four distinct types of decision support systems were identified (corporate planning systems; functional decision support systems; executive information systems; and local decision support systems) and ...

There are various frameworks for decision support system (DSS) that have been formulated. Such frameworks describe the characteristics of DSS. In this paper a proposed effectiveness DSS framework for e-government is presented. This is done by integrating DSS components to support managers and decision makers in e-government. The structure of the proposed DSS framework is discussed. It is expect...

The proliferation and convergence of wireless communications, location technologies, information systems, the Internet, and mobile devices has given rise to new types of decision support utilities commonly referred to as location-based mobile decision support systems (M-DSS). A location-based M-DSS can be described as an information system that exploits knowledge about where a user is located, ...

1.The development of DSS Decision support systems (DSS) are interactive, computer-based systems helping decision-makers (individuals and/or groups) to solve various semistructured and unstructured problems involving multiple attributes, objectives, and goals[2]. With the development of information technologies and the changes of application envorionment , DSS has evolved over the past few decad...

Addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. Development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. This paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...

The continuing development of DSS applications requires that new technologies be exploited to allow new classes of decision be supported. This paper discusses the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) as a Decision Support System (DSS) generator to create Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS). Many important areas of DSS application, such as routing or marketing, make use of spatial in...

this paper provides a fuzzy based decision support system (dss) for risk analysis in e-tourism ( electronic tourism ) investment. in general term, e-tourism is the use of information and communication technology (ict) in tourism which may allow operating tourism in least variable cost, least time and increased work efficiency. it is worth noting that there are many factors that affect the deve...

This study investigates the impact that Information and Enterprise Systems have on economic performance in a sample of Greek SMEs. Furthermore, it analyses whether the adoption of unstructured decision support systems (DSS), structured decision systems (MIS) and enterprise application systems (ERP) are linked to increase the firm’s turnover in four economic sectors. The results of the study ind...
