Abstract
Decision Support Systems (DSS) are computer-based information systems that help decision-makers solve half-structured or non-structured problems by using data and models. They enable decision-makers to make decisions more effectively. The Web-based DSS have made information sharing on the Internet possible, but they cannot meet the decision-maker’s needs in the heterogeneous, autonomic, dynamic and distributed decision support environment, because they only link web pages and lack global mechanism to manage and coordinate decision support resources on the Internet. However, as an advanced technology representing “the third internet revolution”, Grid brings about a lot of innovative ideas and technologies for the development of DSS. As an application of Grid in the field of DSS, this paper puts forward an improved model of Agent Grid-based Open DSS (AGBODSS). With the National Economic Mobilization DSS as a practical case, it illustrates how the AGBODSS works in practice.
