Call for Papers

DSS2010 – the 15th IFIP WG 8.3 International Conference on Decision Support Systems under the theme "Bridging the socio-technical gap in DSS - Challenges for the next decade"

7-10 July, 2010, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

In recent years, bridging the socio-technical gap has been a challenge in many areas of research. The socio-technical gap is the great divide between the social aspects aimed to be supported and those that are effectively supported, due to technical limitations. In Decision Support Systems, this challenge has raised several important questions concerned with the account and encapsulation of social aspects as well as with the representation of human cognitive aspects within computational systems. The 2010 Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 will focus on the theme "Bridging the socio-technical gap in DSS - Challenges for the next decade".

The IFIP TC8/Working Group 8.3 conferences present the latest innovations and achievements of academic communities on Decision Support Systems (DSS). These advances include theory, systems, computer aided methods, algorithms, techniques, applications and technologies supporting decision making.

Paper submissions from academics and practitioners are invited and showcases of real case studies will be especially welcomed. Papers will be peer-reviewed. The acceptance of the contributions will be based on the originality of the work, the relevance for the conference theme and its overall quality.

Suggested research topics include

  - Decision Support Systems
  - Decision Models in the Real-world
  - Executive Information Systems
  - Negotiation Support Systems
  - Knowledge Management
  - Knowledge and Resource Discovery
  - Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing
  - Group Support Systems
  - Collaborative Decision Making
  - Socio-technical aspects for DM in Geographic Information Systems
  - Rich language for Decision Support
  - Web 2 Systems in Decision Support
  - Intellectual Capital in Decision Support

Following a tradition of the IFIP WG8.3 conferences, authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions to special issues of International Scientific Journals like GDN, JDSST, JDS or IDTJ.
