Abstract
The stride in the field of information technology along with the low maintenance cost and usage independence of has lead in the development of more flexible and effective DSSs that operate in an interactive communication environment between user and system. This new DSSs generation was labelled by Courbon et al. (1977, 1979) as “Interactive Decision Support Systems (IDSSs)”. Systems of this type utilize the judgment and expertise of decision makers in order to guide them in decision-making through a trial and error procedure. The role of IDSSs is a continuous effort of gradual approach of the decision maker’s way of reasoning through his interaction with the system (Figure 1).
