A New Vision for Distributed Decision Support Systems
Alexandre Gachet · 2002
Many mission-critical, decision-making situations happen in dynamic, rapidly changing, and often unpredictable distributed environments. Military, governmental, and medical contexts are examples of such situations, which can be characterized by highly decentralized, up-to-date data sets coming from various sources. Unlike other decisionmaking tools, DSSs designed for such situations are challenged by the need to access this decentralized data at any time, from anywhere, under tight time constraints.
