A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based tool or software designed to assist individuals or organizations in making complex decisions by providing relevant data, analysis, and recommendations. DSSs combine information from various sources, such as databases, simulations, and models, to help users analyze and evaluate different options and outcomes. They are used in various fields, including business, healthcare, finance, and engineering, to improve decision-making processes and increase efficiency. DSSs are different from traditional information systems in that they focus on supporting decision-making rather than transaction processing.
