Using a GIS as a DSS Generator
نویسنده
چکیده
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 information. This paper argues that the development of such systems will allow effective support be provided for decisions which make use of spatial data.

DSS software selection: A multiple criteria decision methodology
This paper illustrates an evaluation methodology for DSS software selection. The methodology incorporates three stages: 1) DSS software screening; 2) generator evaluation; and, 3) specific DSS design. Initially, developing a short list through screening of DSS software determines whether an appropriate package exists and narrows the field of available generator products for detailed considerati...

متن کاملGeographic information systems: are they decision support systems?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a special case of information systems with a capability to integrate spatial and descriptive data. As GIS enter into mainstream business applications, understanding how they are similar and different from more familiar information systems such as DSS can be usefil. An attempt is made to converge on a definition of GIS. The potential for many decisions to...
متن کاملGeographic information systems as a marketing information system technology
Marketing information systems (MKIS) are decision support systems targeted at marketing-specific decisions. One of the most widely disseminated MKIS models divides the marketing decision universe into four domains and links these domains to each other and to other marketing activities. Unfortunately, there is little guidance on the construction of specific MKIS targeted at problems in these dom...
