Decision Support Systems welcomes contributions on the concepts and operational basis for DSSs, techniques
for implementing and evaluating DSSs, DSS experiences, and related studies. In treating DSS topics, manuscripts may delve into, draw-on,
or expand such diverse areas as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer supported cooperative work, data base management,
decision theory, economics, linguistics, management science, mathematical modeling, operations management psychology, user interface
management systems, and others. The common thread of articles published in the journal will be their relevance to theoretical, technical
DSS issues.
Authors planning to submit papers to the journal should ensure that their work is relevant to the topics normally
considered to be part of the field of decision support systems.
The Journal's research papers tend to fall into the following
six topic departments:
1. DSS Foundations. e.g. DSS principles, concepts, and theories; frameworks, formal languages, and
methods for DSS research; tutorials about the nature of DSS; assessments of the DSS field.
2. DSS Development-Functionality.
e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for developing the underlying functional aspects of a DSS; solver/model management; data management
in DSSs; rule management and AI in DSSs; coordinating a DSS's functionality within its user interface.
3. DSS Development-Interfaces.
e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for developing the overt user interface of a DSS; managing linguistic, presentation, and user knowledge
in a DSS; DSS help facilities; coordinating a DSS's interface events with its functionality events.
4. DSS Impacts and Evaluation.
e.g. DSS economics; DSS measurement; DSS impacts on individual users, multiparticipant users, organizations, and societies; evaluating/justifying
DSSs.
5. DSS Reference Studies. e.g. reference discipline tutorials for DSS researchers; emerging technologies relevant to
DSS characteristics or DSS development; related studies on such topics as communication support systems, computer supported cooperative
work, negotiation support systems, research support systems, task support systems.
6. DSS Experiences, Management, and Education.
e.g. experiences in developing or operating DSSs; systems solutions to specific decision support needs; approaches to managing DSSs;
DSS instruction/training approaches.
