Decision support systems





Decision makers are faced with increasingly stressful environments – highly competitive, fast-paced, near real-time, overloaded with information, data distributed throughout the enterprise, and multinational in scope. 
The combination of the Internet enabling speed and access, and the maturation of artificial intelligence techniques, has led to sophisticated aids to support decision making under these risky and uncertain conditions. 
These aids have the potential to improve decision making by suggesting solutions that are better than those made by the human alone.
They are increasingly available in diverse fields from medical diagnosis to traffic control to engineering applications.
