Call for Papers for the Mini Track:   "Decision Support Systems"

Association for Information Systems ( AIS )
2002 Americas Conference on Information Systems ( AMCIS 2002 )
August 9-11th, 2002, Dallas, Texas USA

This mini track focuses on building and evaluating Decision Support Systems (DSS), especially Model-Driven and Web-Based DSS. Model-Driven DSS emphasize access to and manipulation of a model -- for example, statistical, financial, optimization or simulation models. Web-Based DSS deliver decision support information or decision support models to a manager, business analyst, customer or supplier using a "thin-client" Web browser. Distributed DSS may also employ mobile technologies to deliver intelligence to the point of decision making.

Possible Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • DSS Design Methodologies
  • Research in Collaborative DSS or Group DSS
  • Selection of DSS Generators
  • Specifications for Detail and Precision in DSS Models
  • Decision Support Model Formulation
  • DSS Model Management in Web and Distributed Computing Environments
  • Evaluation of DSS Designs
  • Linking Models and Database Technologies
  • Technical Antecedents of Acceptance and Use
  • Role and Effects of User Involvement in Design and Development
  • Comparative Effectiveness of Different Interactive Structures for DSS
  • Building Knowledge-Driven DSS
  • OLAP and Business Intelligence Applications
  • Emerging Technologies for DSS Development and Delivery
  • Web-Based DSS for Customers and Suppliers
  • Mobile DSS for Ubiquitous Decision Support

We invite papers that address any of the areas listed above, as well as any related issues.
Reviewers, Discussants and Session Chairs are also needed.

For complete details on submissions and volunteering, please see the AMCIS2002 website.
