Web Intelligence and Interaction Viewed From Research Area of Decision Support

Abstract

This paper describes the impact of WWW on research areas of decision support based on decision support systems which acquire information from the Web. Up-to-date and rich information on the Web will make humans easy to construct decision problems systematically. In order to do so, however, information on the Web must be gathered and be integrated, then be interacted with the users. This paper particularly focuses on the relationship between the Web, data, and users with a viewpoint of human decision processes and decision support systems.
