Introduction to Intelligent Decision Support Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 81))

Abstract

This chapter presents definitions and descriptions of intelligent decision support systems (IDSSs) and analyzes the technology and AI methods, which serve as bases of the IDSS. Scholars have offered various definitions of IDSS. Every one of them accents that an intelligent decision support system is a DSS, which makes extensive use of artificial intelligence techniques. Artificial intelligence techniques can be utilized in all the components of IDSSs, such as in the data base, knowledge base, model base, user interface and the rest. Therefore this chapter deliberates the intelligent databases, hardware (sensors, iris camera hardware, hardware for fingerprint biometric identification, etc.) and computer human interfaces (gesture, intelligent user, motion tracking, voice and natural-language interfaces) in intelligent decision support systems.
