What Is Happening in DSS Research?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study extends previous studies, which examined the intellectual structure, major themes, and reference disciplines of decision support systems (DSS) over the last two decades (1970-1995). Factor analysis of an author cocitation matrix over the period of 1995 through 1999 extracted five major areas of DSS research (group support systems, design/foundations, model management, implementation, and user-interface) and two contributing disciplines (social psychology and cognitive science). The intellectual structure of the DSS area has undergone structural changes over the past five years (1995-1999). We will present several notable trends and developments in the DSS research areas.

Collaborative Planning and Decision Support for Practical Reasoning in Decentralised Supply Chains
Current advanced systems for collaborative planning among supply chain trading partners are scalable in a deterministic environment, but their scalability does not translate for effective decision making when planning under severe uncertainties that arise because of imperfect knowledge and potentially contradictory preferences. This article addresses this gap and aims to explore the logical fou...
متن کاملDeveloping a New Decision Support System to Manage Human Reliability based on HEART Method
Human performance and reliability monitoring have become the main issue for many industries since human error ratios cannot be mitigated to the zero level and many accidents, malfunctions, and quality defects are happening due to the human in production systems. Since the human resources implement a different range of tasks, the calculation of human error probability (HEP) is complicated, and s...
متن کاملWho Pays for Decision Support Systems Research?Review, Directions, and Issues
IS academics are under increasing pressure to apply for national competitive grants, internal university grants, and industry funding to support their research programs. This paper presents an investigation of the nature of DSS research funding through the analysis of 1,020 papers published in 14 high quality journals from 1990 to 2003. In the sample, 23.6% of DSS papers acknowledged grant supp...
متن کاملImproving User and Decision Support System Teamwork: An Approach Based on Shared Mental Models
Social psychology research on teams has shown that team performance improves when team members have a so-called shared mental model (SMM). We observe that a decision support system (DSS) and its user can be viewed as a team whose task is to make a (good) decision. Therefore we argue that it is important for good user-DSS team performance that they have a SMM. In this paper we make precise what ...
متن کاملA Look Toward the Future: Decision Support Systems Research is Alive and Well
research. Given this unique “generational” vantage point, we present the changes in and impact of DSS research as well as future considerations for decision support in the IS field. We argue that the DSS area has remained vital as technology has evolved and our understanding of decision-making processes has deepened. DSS work over the last several years has contributed both breadth and depth to...
