Supporting real time decision-making: The role of context in decision support on the move Overview and Goals
Traditionally decision support systems (DSS) address strategic and
long-term decision situations. However, due to the dynamic nature of
organisations and of the environment that impose a continuous and rapid
replanning, it is equally important to study a possibility of providing
some support for making time-critical operational decisions in real
time in a best possible way. The complexity, multiple goals and various
time-critical imperatives associated with such decision support
increases the importance of learning the right context for making a
good choice. Organized by SIGDSS, this workshop will explore issues associated with the design and use of the real-time Decision Support Systems. The workshop will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of research regarding systems which support real-time decisions “on the move”. This includes the current state, challenges in design, theory, practice, methods and techniques, new developments, and applications of computing technologies to support extracting the context of real-time decision processes and decision-making by individuals, groups and organizations in time-critical situations. The challenges of context management as a component to knowledge management for decision making and support will be also addressed. |
