In this paper we survey some issues relating to the languageinterfaces provided by DSS. We do this from the point-of-view of thedesigner of generalized software for building DSS. We first describe a fairly general architecture for such software. This is followed bya brief examination of the...

Decision support systems are of many kinds depending on themodels and techniques employed in them. Multiple criteriadecision making techniques constitute an important class of DSSwith unique software requirements. This paper stresses theimportance of interactive MCDM methods since these...

In this paper we study the integration of Model Management and Hypertext systems toproduce a Hyper Model Management System (HMMS). Model Management Systems constitutea class of software that is designed to support the construction, storage, retrieval, anduse of models in the context of decision...

There is a need for integrated access to a wide range of information related to the development anduse of DSS in organizations. This information comes in many forms, both formal and informal, andis highly interrelated. To handle this complex information base, we argue that a separate...
