The evaluation of the performance of any information system is important for the further improvement of that system. This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) evaluation method based on multiple-criteria techniques within a multiple-constituency perspective. With multiple-constituency DSS evaluation, many criteria may be valuable to a particular group of stakeholders, whilst others ma...

Since the early 1970s a number of decision support system (DSS) frameworks have been formulated that describe the characteristics of DSS. This research effort examines several of those frameworks using published case-based research. The purpose is to determine whether the characteristics outlined by the frameworks are observed in these published cases. This is useful in determining those charac...

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have the potential to replace painful, invasive, and costly procedures, to optimize medical decisions, improve medical care, and reduce costs. An even better strategy is to make use of a knowledge discovery in data approach, with the aid of artificial intelligence tools. This results in transforming conventional CDSS in Intelligent Clinical Decision Supp...

There are a limited number of scientific studies concerned with the evaluation of DSS in general, and even less concerned with the evaluation of DSS in a clinical context. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical DSS at the Department of Orthopedics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in order to answer how one should evaluate clinical DSS. We have in our study created a research fr...

DEFINITION A spatial decision support system (SDSS) is an interactive, computer-based system designed to support a user or a group of users in achieving a higher effectiveness of decision making while solving a semi-structured spatial decision problem [10]. It lies at the intersection of two major trends in the spatial sciences: geographic information sciences (GIS) and spatial analysis [10]. W...

Increased data volumes and accelerating update speeds are fundamentally changing the role of the data warehouse in modern businesses. More data, coming in faster, and requiring immediate conversion into decisions means that organizations are confronting the need for real-time data warehousing. Enabling portable devices to participate in such systems is a fundamental requirement. The design of r...
