The view of decision-making that has informed most decision support systems research has been Simon’s process theory. Further, the majority DSS work has focussed on the choice phase of Simon’s model of decision-making. Decision bias theory does not focus on the choice process but considers the possibility of systematic and persistent errors in all phases of judgement and decision-making. Decisi...

In the chapter we are presenting the theoretical background, state of the art and modern research trends of Clinical decision support systems (CDSS). The challenges for success are derived and our experience is described with the presentation of a good practice example of employing CDSS in telemedicine. CDSS systems are increasingly often integrated into telemedicine clinical practice. In addit...

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...

INTRODUCTION Since the late 1960s, researchers have been developing and implementing computerized systems to support management decision makers. A number of decision support system (DSS) typologies were proposed in the early 1980s (Alter, 1980; Sprague & Carlson, 1982), but technology developments and new applications led to an expanded DSS framework (Power, 2000a, 2000b, 2001). The expanded DS...

World-Wide Web technologies have rapidly transformed the entire design, development and implementation process for all types of Decision Support Systems. In particular, Web technologies have provided a new media for sharing information about decision support and a new means of delivering decision support capabilities. For DSS developers, the big leap forward is to use the “Web as computer”.

This paper attempts to describe and clarify the meaning of the term Decision Support (DS). Based on a survey of DSrelated WWW documents, and taking a broad view of DS, a classification of DS and related disciplines is presented. DS is put in the context of Decision Making, and some most important disciplines of DS are overviewed: Operations Research, Decision Analysis, Decision Support Systems,...

In this paper we examine characteristics common to successful intelligent decision support systems. In doing this, we attempt to bridge the gap between disparate communities engaged in building various parts of these systems. Three systems were examined in detail from widely different applications and more than 20 additional systems were considered at a lower level of detail. By examining deplo...
