The objective of this paper was to present a new approach to understanding GSS systems research. With this MDD data model it is now possible to run ad-hoc analysis to determine which combinations of independent and dependent variables lead to the desired outcomes. For example, we will be able do drill-down on any independent and design variable simultaneously and determine the effect on each dependent variable category. Further work is in-process to build the complete MDD model. Special thanks are extended to Robert Stroebel of Pilot Software for all of his help.
