Decision support systems (DSS) become more and more complex to deal with decision-making problems related to the current conjuncture. Several agent-oriented methodologies have been proposed to design distributed decision support systems and improve the decision process. This paper presents a comparative study of these existing methodologies (based on a set of relevant criteria like the adaptability, reliability and decision objective) and identifies a set of issues, notably the lack of faults tolerance mechanism and the absence of the formal verification. Hence, we propose a work-in-progress approach (also based on multi-agent paradigm) called ADS2adapted for distributed decision support systems. We also present how ADS2will allow to remove the global control, to reinforce the adaptability and to reduce developers burden thanks to the utilization of model-driven engineering settings.
