A decision support system (DSS) is an information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help people make decisions about problems that may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance—i.e., unstructured and semi-structured ...
A classic example of a production rule-based system is the domain-specific expert system that uses rules to make deductions or choices. [1] For example, an expert system might help a doctor choose the correct diagnosis based on a cluster of symptoms, or select tactical moves to play a game.
Automated Decision Support, or ADS, systems are rule-based systems that are able to automatically provide solutions to repetitive management problems. [1] ADSs are very closely related to business informatics and business analytics. Automated decision support systems are based on business rules. These business rules can be created or operated ...
An executive information system (EIS), also known as an executive support system (ESS), [1] is a type of management support system that facilitates and supports senior executive information and decision-making needs. It provides easy access to internal and external information relevant to organizational goals.
Decision intelligence is a discipline for analyzing this chain of cause and effect, and decision modeling is a visual language for representing these chains. A related field, decision engineering, also investigates the improvement of decision-making processes but is not always as closely tied to data science.
Automated decision-making involves using data as input to be analyzed within a process, model, or algorithm or for learning and generating new models. [7] ADM systems may use and connect a wide range of data types and sources depending on the goals and contexts of the system, for example, sensor data for self-driving cars and robotics, identity data for security systems, demographic and ...
A business rules engine is a software system that executes one or more business rules in a runtime production environment.The rules might come from legal regulation ("An employee can be fired for any reason or no reason but not for an illegal reason"), company policy ("All customers that spend more than $100 at one time will receive a 10% discount"), or other sources.
An intelligent decision support system (IDSS) is a decision support system that makes extensive use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Use of AI techniques in management information systems has a long history – indeed terms such as "Knowledge-based systems" (KBS) and "intelligent systems" have been used since the early 1980s to describe components of management systems, but the term ...
