Organized by SIGDSS, this workshop will explore issues surrounding the design and use of Decision Support Systems. The workshop will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of research regarding systems which support managerial decision-making through both knowledge management and data management. This includes the design, history, theory, practice, methods and techniques, new developments, and applications of computing technologies to support decision processes and decision-making by individuals, groups and organizations. Specifically, the goal of the inaugural workshop is to bring interested researchers together in order to provide networking opportunities for the academic community interested in these topics. As an added feature, the program will include panel discussions on SIGDSS-related issues featuring members of the SIGDSS Advisory Board and other invited well-known contributors to the SIGDSS mission.

Call for Papers

Download the full Call for Participation here (PDF format)

Both in-progress, completed research, and "extended abstract" papers are welcome. Submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed. Authors are asked to review one or two papers. In-progress submissions should be no more than seven double-spaced pages (using Times Roman 12 point font). Completed research should be no more than fifteen double-spaced pages. Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) is preferred. The specified lengths include the abstract, references, and figures.

Extended abstracts can vary in length, but are usually around three to four pages and are useful in presenting research in early stages, where authors would like to receive feedback regarding their ideas. The extended abstracts will be reviewed, but evaluated separately from the in-progress and completed research papers.

Please submit papers by email to David Schuff (David.Schuff@temple.edu) by Monday, September 15, 2003. Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed. As part of the submission process, you may also be asked to review a paper or two. You will be notified about the decision of the program committee by Friday, October 17, 2003.

The following are a list of potential topics. Topics not listed here but related to the theme of the workshop are welcome.

SIG-Affiliated Special Journal Issue of DSS

There will be a special issue of the International Journal of Decision Support Systems affiliated with the SIG. Those interested in submitting a paper to the special issue are also asked to submit a preliminary version of the paper (using the guidelines in the "Call for Papers" section) to the workshop. More information concerning this special issue is available in the Call for Papers for that issue (click here).
