New trends for Decision Support Systems

Abstract

In this paper, Decision Support System (DSS) from 30 years ago to the near future will be studied to investigate the development trend of DSS. A typical DSS architecture has been described and the requirement of the DSS functionality implementation is illustrated in this article. Because all of the DSSs are projected-oriented, researchers are focused on developing general architecture to adapt as many cases as possible. Researchers begin to investigate the dynamic interaction and multi-criteria for the DSS application. In the near future, with the development of cloud computing, some cloud-based and agent-based DSSs will be adopted to various applications.
