Dear colleagues:
It is possible that some members of this list could be interested in
submit a chapter proposal for a book on DMSS (Decision Making Support
Systems, that includes DSS, EIS and ES/KBS). An special section of
chapters will be destined to advanced IT for DMSS like: Neural Networks,
Data Mining, Genetic Algorithms and Intelligent Agents. Deadline is
March 31.
I attached the CFC below.
Sincerely.
Manuel Mora.

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
(Book on Decision Making Support Systems)
==================================================================
In the last 25 years, organizations that have deployed Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS), such as stand-alone DSS, EIS, ES/KBS or combined systems, have received multiple benefits including an increase in the quality of decisions, cost savings, improving in communication and enhancing the analytical process of decisions. However, the overall implementation process of DMSS is inherently complex and faces several obstacles in their extensive utilization in practice.
Further research and empirical evidences are required for a better understanding and comprehension of all issues associated with the implementation of DMSS in organizations, from the awareness of their necessity up to their institutionalization.
For these reasons, we invite colleagues and practitioners doing research in the field, to collaborate with this editorial effort to share, increase and diffuse the knowledge about DMSS through the submission of chapter proposals for a book that is being developed for a respected international publishing house, in a peer-review acceptation procedure, according to the following particulars:
FORMAT OF PROPOSALS.
Short (about 250 words) or large version (3 pages) that should contain: topic name, main purpose, outline of the chapter proposed, and theoretical and practical contributions of the chapter proposed. Submissions should be formatted and submitted as a MS Word 97 document. The important dates related to the submissions and completion of the chapters are as follows:
DEADLINE FOR TOPICS PROPOSALS.

* Advanced Information Technology for DMSS
(DataWarehousing and Data Mining; Intelligent Agents; Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, and Other Machine Learning ; Knowledge Based Simulation)
* Organizational & Development Issues of DMSS
(DMSS System Design and Development Methodologies; DMSS Project Management,
Measuring DMSS Effectiveness; Organizational and Management Impacts)
* Challenges & Future Trends
(Barriers of Implementation, New Requirements for DMSS, Web-Based DMSS,
