Decision Support Systems

Abstract

When decision makers face a difficult decision, they tend to ask questions regarding this decision, may be the most important one is “do we need to make this decision or not?” because in many cases and after a thorough study, it was found that the decision is not required at all. In other cases, decision makers are faced with multiple decisions where all look very similar. An example is to select between two dams, one generates more electricity and the other generates more water. Here comes the role of decision support systems. They are used to support such management decisions where decision maker is faces many time with a “what if” question. This project aims at building a decision support system that depend on a model base in order to make decisions.
