Future Directions for Decision Support.

Abstract

A formal, generic description of decision support systems is introduced. This description views a decision support system as having three principal components: a language system, a knowledge system and a problem processing system. Several systems are described which fit the generic DSS idea, but which are (for the most part) not the customary kinds of systems encountered in business applications. Nevertheless, the concepts and techniques employed in these systems can make important contributions to the emergence of more powerful business-oriented decision support systems. (Author)
