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 in...

A decision support system (DSS) was developed to support tactical decision making in demanding, ambiguous situations. An applied experiment was conducted to evaluate the extent to which the DSS contributed to greater situational awareness. Eight highly experienced CO-TAO teams participated in four realistic scenarios, two with and two without the DSS. Decision performance and team communication...

In the present work a Decision Support System (DSS) is described, that supports decision making with regard to the selection of the appropriate control design approach for nonlinear plants. More specifically, this DSS supports decision making concerning several aspects of designing safe switching controllers. Decisions are based on specific available information about the plant’s description an...

Advances in information technology and explosion of internet technology is creating new professional users, across and within countries. These users are looking at technology to provide decision support for non-recurring tasks, to provide prototyping capabilities and to provide research support. However, organizational decision environment is also changing, creating havoc for system builders wh...

Decision support systems (DSSs) are used to enhance decision making speed and effectiveness. However, without a view of the entire system, any decision may have unanticipated effects, such as sub-optimal outcomes. This paper explores the benefits of applying a DSS over the analysis of unprocessed data and the effectiveness of integrating a product design generator (PDG) with a business DSS wher...

This study presents a neural network & web-based decision support system (DSS) for foreign exchange (forex) forecasting and trading decision, which is adaptable to the needs of financial organizations and individual investors. In this study, we integrate the back-propagation neural network (BPNN)based forex rolling forecasting system to accurately predict the change in direction of daily exchan...

The proliferation and convergence of wireless communications, location technologies, information systems, the Internet, and mobile devices has given rise to new types of decision support utilities commonly referred to as location-based mobile decision support systems (M-DSS). A location-based M-DSS can be described as an information system that exploits knowledge about where a user is located, ...

A wide variety of specific Decision Support Systems have been and can be built using Internet and Web technologies. This paper was focused and developed application of water DSS (Building Web-based and Inter organizational Decision Support Systems for water management). This paper aims at presenting an application for decisions in ecosystem analysis. We consider contemporary Decision Support Sy...

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 ...

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...
