Publisher's Synopsis
An integrated coverage of both Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Expert Systems (ES). This dual approach is a practical reflection of actual trends in the field where two systems are increasingly used together. The next presents examples and theory for both types of systems, as well as the latest developments. Practical applications are emphasized throughout the text in over 30 cases and mini-cases with related problems. This new edition has been updated and expanded in a number of key areas. It is available with free software programs - IFPS, Vp Expert, and EXSYS - to provide students with hands-on systems experience.
