The EWG-DSS is the Working Group on Decision Support Systems within EURO: the Association of the European Operational Research Societies.
The circle below illustrates the process-loop that translates the main activities of the EWG-DSS envisaging the dissemination of DSS Information (1) and Research (2), in order to encourage DSS Development (3) and Collaboration (4) among the DSS researchers and professionals. As a consequence, Publication (5) opportunities to document the research & development processes and the end results are promoted within the EWG-DSS editions.
Specifically, to accomplish the main objectives listed above, the EWG-DSS promotes the following key-activities:
- Annual ICDSST Conference and other Conference-Streams organization related to Decision Support Systems topics.
- Annual Journal Special Issues publications, on support of the annual EWG-DSS organized Conferences, providing publication opportunities in the DSS Community.
- Annual EWG-DSS Newsletter publication, promoting the events and the research achievements of the EWG-DSS members and of the DSS Community as a whole.
- Annual EWG-DSS-Award: a motivating research initiative for young researchers to submit and present their work in one of the EWG-DSS annual organized events.
- Collaboration projects among the group members.
EWG-DSS is committed to promoting responsibility, diversity, and equal opportunity in Operations Research. We endorse the objectives of the EURO WISDOM Forum and support initiatives that foster inclusive participation, empower underrepresented groups, and encourage collaboration across the OR community.
