Abstract

Over the past several decades, DSS has progressed toward becoming a solid academic field. Nevertheless, since the mid-1990s, the inability of DSS to fully satisfy a wide range of information needs of practitioners provided an impetus for a new breed of DSS called business intelligence systems (BIS). This paper examines the major differences among decision support systems (DSS), business intelligence (BI), and data analytics (DA). These three systems are different in terms of data, analytical environment, analytical tools, their focuses, and others. Next, the paper briefly describes the major characteristics of each. Third, A survey of DSS, BI, and DA is conducted covering the period of January 2016 through December 2019 to report publication trends of each system. The final section summarizes the findings and discusses their implications. This research provided a picture of what has happened over the past several years. The biggest accomplishment the DSS community achieved is that it provided the foundational concepts such as the DDM paradigm and the definitions of DSS. The DSS area has given the fruits of the DSS research to numerous other fields. Further, DSS and BI have a mild level of increased publications, while there is very sharp increase in DA (349%).
