Title: Decision Support Systems: A Group Perspective

Report Abstract:

Decision Support Systems are designed to support decision makers facing unstructured problems. They were developed to interactively simulate the problem in order to propose to the user part of the solution. In organizations, decision making processes generally involve a group of individuals, rather than just one person. Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) are designed to support groups involved in a decisional process. An overview of GDSS is presented, and a particular system called GRoUp System (GRUS) will be demonstrated. This system is used in two projects: one European project applied to Agriculture and one French national project applied to biodiversity.
