This paper outlines some present researches in describing decision-making context by information systems, and especially Decision Support Systems (DSS). We present the results of an empirical study that had the main propose to demonstrate the idea that describing context decision-making in an incorrect manner may lead to an inaccurate decision-making process. We discuss therefore some possible ...

This article presents decision support system (DSS) guidelines for water resources planning and management in systems with multiple objectives, multiple disciplines, and multiple decision makers. The guidelines are based on experience with DSS development in Africa, Europe, and the US. A prototype DSS for water resources planning in the Nile Basin is also described. The article advocates that t...

A wide variety of specific Decision Support Systems have been and can be built using Internet and Web technologies. This paper was focused and developed application of water DSS (Building Web-based and Inter organizational Decision Support Systems for water management). This paper aims at presenting an application for decisions in ecosystem analysis. We consider contemporary Decision Support Sy...

This research develops 45 evaluation criteria for “high-velocity” strategic Decision Support Systems (DSS), and uses them to evaluate 16 popular commercial DSS tools for their fit in supporting “high-velocity” strategic decision-making. Results illustrate the assertion that few currently-available DSS tools support “high-velocity” strategic decision requirements. Based on the findings, the auth...

Despite the growing need for decision support in the digital age, there has not been an adequate increase of interest in research and development in Decision Support Systems (DSSs). In our view, the vision for a new type of DSS should provision a tighter integration with the problem domain, and include implementation phase in addition to the traditional intelligence, design, and choice phases. ...

Traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) provide strong data management, modelling and visualisation capabilities for the decision maker but they do not explicitly support scenario management appropriately. Systems that purport to support scenario planning are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. We introduce scenario as a core component of ...

DSS was once a revolutionary idea, but in the intervening decades the original issues that led to the DSS movement have receded to ancient history. Declaring victory on the initial DSS agenda raises questions about whether DSS today is anything other than an umbrella term for disparate types of systems whose main commonality involves overlapping interests of researchers rather than substantive ...

In this paper, a collaborative DSS Model for health care systems and results obtained are described. The proposed framework [1] embeds expert knowledge within DSS to provide intelligent decision support, and implements the intelligent DSS using collaboration technologies. The problem space contains several Hub and Spoke networks. Information about such networks is dynamically captured and repre...

While DSS development methodologies and implementation research are abound in the DSS literature, a gap still exists in terms of the ability to provide a holistic conceptual structure for improving the management and development of decision support systems, the ability to capture and share understanding of key DSS development processes, and most notably, the ability to provide guidance for DSS ...

Decision support systems (DSS) are a subset of computer-based information systems (CBIS). The general term 'computer-based information systems' is a constellation of a variety of information systems such as office automation systems, transaction processing systems, management information systems and management support systems. Management support systems consist of DSS, expert systems and execut...
