| Summary |
This special volume of Annals of Information Systems explores the issues associated with the design and use of real-time DSS in ubiquitous, mobile, and distributed computing environments with the focus on the importance of context for successfully addressing dynamic decision-making processes. Sponsored by the Association for Information Systems, Special Interest Group on Decision Support, Knowledge and Data Management Systems (AIS SIG DSS), the workshop "Supporting real-time decision-making: The role of context in decision support on the move" was a part of the International Conference in Information Systems ancillary events (pre-ICIS DSS workshop) in December 2008 in Paris. The papers include related theories, tools and techniques, as well as case studies from experience, especially cases in which the real-time decision support was successfully provided based on context-aware information systems, as well as those where time-critical support failed due to the shortcomings of technology or social components of the information systems. The overarching research question this book aims to address is: How discovering, extracting, interpreting, predicting, and managing context can assist in real-time decision support? The volume's focus is on the challenges of context modeling and management as a component of knowledge management for decision making and support. The workshop included a key note and a panel discussion on the future research required to successfully advance the DSS field, capitalising on the opportunities of the ubiquitous technologies and addressing the challenges of making better decisions 'on the move' |
