Abstract
This chapter describes and illustrates IDSSE-M, a methodology for designing and building intelligent decision support systems. IDSSE-M follows a prototype-based evolutive approach on four main phases: project initiation, system design, system building and evaluation, and user’s definitive acceptance. IDSSE-M is theoretically founded in Saxena’s Decision Support Engineering Methodology, and Turban and Aronson’s DSS Building Paradigm. Although IDSSE-M has been only used in academic settings, the complexity of the implementations has been high, and based on realistic organizational cases, with satisfactory results. Main benefit of IDSSE-M is providing a systematic software engineering oriented process for new developers of intelligent DMSS.
