Decision Support Systems (DSS) are interactive computer-based systems that help humans identify and solve complex problems. A DSS can be a stand-alone solution but is often integrated with data acquisition, interactive electronic technical manuals, knowledge bases, online help, training and simulation, modeling algorithms, and other technologies. DSS-based solutions are widely deployed in business, engineering, military, and medical environments where the amount of information available may be overwhelming or delay actions of the unaided human performers. Decision-making tools increase productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness providing a comparative advantage in the real-world.
