On decision support system - a brief note

Students mainly learn the term of decision support system (DSS) in the subject of Managment Information System (MIS). DSS as a subject is stimulating because of its focus on how information systems can support decision making processes of various kinds. There is a huge literature on the subject; some of the books on DSS are as follows:

  • Hopple, G.W. (1998) The state of the art in Decision Support Systems, QED Information Sciences, Inc.
  • Silver, M.S. (1991) Systems that support decision makers, Wiley
  • Sprague, Jr. R.H. and Watson, H.J. (editors) (1993) Decision Support Systems: putting theory into practice, Prentice Hall.
The refereed journal of Decision Support Systems, published by Elsevier is a key reference.
