CIE363 Decision Support and Intelligent Systems Syllabus:

CIE363 Decision Support and Intelligent Systems Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To review and clarify the fundamental terms, concepts and theories associated with Decision Support Systems, computerized decision aids, expert systems, group support systems and executive information systems.
• To discuss and develop skills in the analysis, design and implementation of computerized Decision Support Systems.
• To examine the uses of various mathematical models, heuristics and simulation as a subsystem of DSS.
• To understand that most Decision Support Systems are designed to support rather than replace decision makers and the consequences of this perspective for designing DSS.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Managerial decision making, system modeling and support – preview of the modeling process- phases of decision making process.

UNIT II ANALYSIS
