Incorporating GISs into decision support systems: where have we come from and where do we need to go?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We believe that a GIS should be part of a decision support system, not vice versa. The particular needs of the DSS should drive the design and development of a GIS, not the other way around. We review some of the history of the development of both GIS and DSS, and examine the impact of the microcomputer revolution of the 1980s. We will conclude with a discussion of what we consider to be the real issues and problems in building DSS and GIS, and a view of what the future may hold for technological improvements. -from Authors
