Summary

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.
