  • Chapter
Handbook on Decision Making

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 4))

Abstract

In this chapter, an overview to techniques and applications related to intelligent decision making is presented. The decision making process and elements of decision quality are discussed. A taxonomy of decision support systems is described. Techniques stemmed from artificial intelligence that are useful for designing and development intelligent decision support systems are explained. The application of intelligent decision support systems to a variety of domains is highlighted. A summary of concluding remarks is presented at the end of this chapter.
