Editor, DSSResources.com
A robust decision support capability is perhaps desirable.
Robust means a decision support system (DSS) requires
little change as circumstances change or that it can adjust

and easy for users or developers to adapt, alter and change
or it is self-adjusting based on machine learning. In general,
experience suggests "robust" is not a major DSS requirement
and one can argue that automating learning by a decision
support system is undesirable. The critical issue is establishing
indicators that help a user or developer recognize and identify
the need to change and adapt a decision support capability.
