Welcome to ISDSS'99!
You and your colleagues are invited to participate in the major 1999 event for DSS researchers and practitioners - the International Conference of the International Society for Decision Support Systems.
The 5th Conference for the International Society for Decision Support Systems (ISDSS'99) will be held in Melbourne, Australia during July 21 - 22, 1999. The purpose of the conference is to promote discussion and interaction among members of the information systems community with research interests in cutting edge decision support systems. The 1999 conference provides an opportunity for researchers to reflect on the acheivements of the DSS field to date and to theorize about the likely directions and challenges for decision support in the new millennium. ISDSS'99 seeks exchange of emerging and innovative research ideas and results, which not only provide foundation for further research, but also benefit the business community.
