Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present the history of the intelligent decision support systems: the beginnings, when there were just decision support systems with no artificial intelligence, followed by the metamorphosis into intelligent tools. If we listen carefully to what history wants tells us, we can catch a glimpse of the future. What is next for intelligent decision support systems? Will they continue to keep growing? Will they fade? Have they reached their maximal potential?
