A case study of a large scale architecture will be used to demonstrate application of systems architecting principles. Course studies the design of computerized systems to support individual or organizational decisions. A DSS is the end product of a development process, and it is this process that is key to successful integration of a DSS into an organization. Empirical evaluation of the specific DSS and underlying theory should be carried on throughout the development process. Examines some prevailing theories of decision support, considers the issues involved in obtaining empirical validation for a theory, and discusses what if any empirical support exits for the theories considered.
Students design a DSS as a semester project.
