Decision Support Systems Module |
» BIT 5474 - Computer-Based Decision Support Systems
» BIT 5594 - Web Applications and Electronic Commerce
The advent of powerful microcomputers has revolutionized the manner in which organizations approach many complex managerial problems. This technology allows for the construction of interactive computer-based information systems that use decision rules, models, and comprehensive databases to support the decision making process. In this module, the student will learn how to design and implement such systems in a visual language environment. Module course work includes an in-depth coverage of methods for data access, modeling and computation using a visual language, graphical display of support material and report generation methodologies, object sharing between software components, and the deployment of support systems within a distributed computing environment. Client server systems, common object model methodologies, and the distribution of support systems in a web-based environment are examined in the context of distributed decision support systems.
Upon successful completion of the Decision Support Systems module the student will be able to:
- explain the technology available for modeling in a visual environment;
- explain the various data access methodologies available for support system modeling;
- explain how objects can be shared between software components;
- explain report generation concepts and problems; and
- design and develop a prototypical decision support system using a visual environment; and
- implement a decision support system in a distributed, web-based environment.
