Decision Support Systems (DSS) comprise a wide-range of computer-enabled applications that are based on some form of analytical model, commonly linked to a database. Coupled with the visualization and spatial analysis facilities provided by a Geographic Information System (GIS), a unifying framework can be developed to promote the uptake of advanced decision support technology across a wide ran...

Web-based information systems are increasingly being used for decision support applications. However few empirical studies have been conducted on web-based decision support systems (DSS). This experimental research endeavors to understand factors that impact decision-making satisfaction in web based decision support systems. Using structural equation modeling approach, the analysis reveals that...

Research goals and objectives: to describe the experience of the design, development and use of decision support systems (DSS) in the study of economic disciplines in higher education. Subject of research: design, development and use of decision support systems in the study of economic disciplines in higher education. Research methods used: comparative analysis, business analytics, design of so...

Many businesses have made or are making significant investments in data warehouses that reportedly support a myriad of decision support systems (DSS). Due to the newness of data warehousing and related DSS (DWDSS), the nature of the decision support provided to DW-DSS users and the related impact on decision performance have not been investigated in an applied setting. An explanatory case study...

Using distributed hydrological models to evaluate the effectiveness of reducing non-point source pollution by applying best management practices (BMPs) is an important support to decision making for watershed management. However, complex interfaces and time-consuming simulations of the models have largely hindered the applications of these models. We designed and developed a prototype web-based...

The central contribution of the study is the development of a DSS success model explores the effects of the quality features of DSS systems, including system quality, information quality, accompanied with perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on decision support satisfaction and DSS net benefits. A detailed questionnaire was developed to measure the relationship between the aforementio...

This study uses a business game as a vehicle for implementing decision support systems (DSS). Fifty-Eight companies, consisting of about 300 senior graduate students participating in a business game, developed DSS and reported on the systems developed. Questionnaires were later used to evaluate a number of relevant variables: use of systems, contribution of systems, and user satisfaction. Findi...

1.1 Problemstellung Entscheidungsunterstützungsoder Decision Support Systeme (DSS) sind nach Alter (1996) ursprünglich computer-basierte Systeme, die den Benutzer bei der Identifikation und Auswahl geeigneter Entscheidungsalternativen in Situationen, zu denen keine Erfahrungen oder praktischen Lösungsansätze vorliegen, unterstützen. Die Auffassung der Special Interest Group on Decision Support,...

BACKGROUND The potential role of DSS in CVD prevention remains unclear as only a few studies report on patient outcomes for cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and observational studies was done using Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Amed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus databases; reference lists of releva...

The potential suite of decision support system (DSS) applications deployed by organizations is dynamic and change with advances in computer technology. An understanding of DSS applications is important in planning organization strategy or creating a roadmap that encompasses these changes. This research effort examines the definition of DSS, the assimilation of information technology in organiza...
