Examples of Decision Support Systems on the Web


This page contains a listing of decision support systems on the Web. Some of these links points to systems that may be executed over the Web, other links point to descriptions of the system. One of the things we could like to understand in this class is the technical and organizational implications for making this sort of access to a DSS possible.

Here is a list of executable decision support systems.

Here is a list of pointers to information about DSS software.

  • Mathbrowser from MathCad. This is not executable but gives you information about valued added web browsers that can deal with executable decision support systems.
    To paraphrase, a Windows-32 bit browser software that can, in addition to interpreting HTML documents, "view any Mathcad document placed on the WWW!"

  • Which & Why Decision Valuation Software
    "decision valuation software that simplifies arranging, prioritizing, and evaluating criteria. It can help you to structure and compare the relevant variables during the decision-making process."

  • DEMOS (Decision Modeling System from LUMINA)
    "visual environment for creating, analyzing and communicating probabilistic models for business, risk and decision analysis" using influence diagrams.

  • GEMS Geographical Environmental Modeling System at CMU. Describes an interesting spatial DSS project at CMU.

  • Decision Support Systems for Water Managment

  • DESSERT: Decision Support Systems and Toolkit for Service Management. DESSERT aims to support telecom personnel in the formulation of advanced communication service offerings, and in the deployment of resources to meet customer requirements in a timely and satisfactory manner.

  • Groundwater Modeling Systems: The Department of Defense Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) is a comprehensive graphical user environment that provides an interface to several models for numerical groundwater modeling. GMS provides tools for site characterization, model conceptualization, mesh and grid generation, geostatistics, and sophisticated tools for graphical visualization.
