INTEGRATING DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS - A 3-LEVEL FRAMEWORK

Decision support systems (DSS) like individual DSS, group DSS, or organization DSS, have traditionally been developed separately. Attempts to integrate their separate development into a unified framework. Specifies the relationship between the decisions supported by different DSS in organization, thereby making it necessary to have an integrated approach; along with an outline of the problems in the existing DSS environment towards proper integration. The ANSI/X3/SPARC database framework is utilized to develop a three-level integrated DSS framework, that enables the integration of different types of DSS in organization. Suggests a knowledge-based approach for implementing the proposed framework.
