Aims and Scope

This journal publishes scientific research on the theories, methods, technologies, and applications of Decision Support Systems (DSS), covering conceptual approaches, system development, evaluation, and real-world implementation across various domains.

The journal welcomes contributions on, but not limited to:

  • Traditional DSS (model-driven)
  • DSS 2.0 (data-driven and web-based)
  • DSS 3.0 (AI-driven and knowledge-based)
  • DSS 4.0 (IoT-enabled, adaptive, and context-aware)
  • DSS 5.0 (human–AI collaborative and human-centered)
  • Web-based, cloud-based, IoT-based, and big-data-driven DSS
  • Collaborative, communication-driven, and group DSS
  • Spatial DSS (SDSS) and GIS-based decision support
  • Decision analytics, including predictive, prescriptive, and optimization models
  • Explainable DSS (X-DSS) and human–AI decision interaction
  • Privacy, security, ethics, and societal impacts of DSS
  • Evaluation, validation, deployment, and real-world implementation of DSS
  • DSS applications in business, government, healthcare, education, environment, agriculture, transportation, smart cities, and other socio-technical domains
