Decision Support System (DSS ) is a computer - based automated system whose goal is to help people who make decisions in difficult conditions for a complete and objective analysis of objective activity. DSSs arose as a result of the merger of management information systems and database management systems .
Different methods are used for the analysis and development of proposals in DSS. These can be: information search , data mining , knowledge search in databases , case-based reasoning , simulation , evolutionary calculations and genetic algorithms , neural networks , situational analysis, cognitive modeling , etc. Some of these methods were developed as part of artificial intelligence . If the methods of artificial intelligence are at the heart of the work of DSS, then they talk about intellectualized DSS or ISPR. Classes of systems close to DSS are expert systems and automated control systems .
