	Decision support system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Decision support systems are a class of computer-based information systems or knowledge based systems that, in very different manner, support decision making activities.
		Supporting a decision means supporting this choice by supporting the estimation, the evaluation and/or the comparison and choice.
		For Keen and Scott Morton (1978), a DSS couples the intellectual resources of individuals with the capabilities of the computer to improve the quality of decisions ("DSS are computer-based support for management decision makers who are dealing with semi-structured problems").

	decision support system - Ultrawideband Planet
		DSS applications are systems and subsystems that help people make decisions based on data that is culled from a wide range of sources.
		The vendor can use a DSS to gather information from its own resources (using a tool such as OLAP) to determine if the company has the ability or potential ability to expand its business and also from external resources, such as industry data, to determine if there is indeed a demand to meet.
		DSS applications are not single information resources, such as a database or a program that graphically represents sales figures, but the combination of integrated resources working together.

	Decision Support Systems Resources -- DSSResources.COM -- the premier web-based knowledge repository for Business ...
		Decision Support Systems (DSS) are interactive computer-based information systems designed to help decision makers use data and models to identify, structure, and solve semi-structured or unstructured problems and make choices among alternatives.
		Group Decision Support Systems, however, are used by a number of decision makers to arrive at a common decision.
		Intelligent Decision Support Systems or Suggestion DSS extend the notion of decision support by adding techniques from Artificial Intelligence such as knowledge bases, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and learning models.

	Emergency Response Decision Support System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The system is user friendly, interactive, and aids in decision support for emergency response, and the planning of emergency response procedures.
		This proposal has developed a system which will act as a central repository for the output from these projects; and ntegrated the data with other relevant datasets in such as way as to produce a value added integrated emergency response support system.
		The system developed and successfully implemented in the Shannon, with refinement, the database structure can be adapted for use elsewhere in Ireland, and will thus act as a model for decision support in emergency response procedures in Ireland.

	The Environmental Decision Support System (EDSS)
		The Environmental Decision Support System (EDSS) is problem solving environment that provides an advanced modeling and analysis system for environmental scientists, engineers, policy makers, and educators.
		The last domain involves modeling the decision process itself and thereby providing the structure and support to enable policy makers to make timely, balanced decisions that are consistent with what we know about the environment.
		Decision makers need emissions models with high performance and fast turnaround, so that they can gain insight into the cause-and-effect relationships involved in atmospheric air pollution issues, and so that they can investigate the effectiveness of proposed controls.

	A Brief History of Decision Support Systems
		Decision support as an important part of the emerging management information systems is supported by the heavy reliance on Simon and Anthony.
		My concept of the information system of an organization is the set of technology-enabled systems that support organization processes including systems for transaction processing, maintaining availability of repositories of data, organization communication and coordination, knowledge work, and management.
		The development of DSS can be profitably examined in the context of the systems and technologies that were employed; a full understanding of its development requires an understanding of DSS as a vital component in the development of a network of new and improved organizational functions and functionality enabled by computers and communications technologies.
