Designing a Decision Support System with incorporated Data Mining

Abstract: In this paper we propose a software design for a Decision Support System (DSS) with incorporated Data Mining (DM), which integrates data mining operations such as classification and clustering. With the increasing amount of data available today, decision support benefits greatly from a stronger data foundation. We introduce a business problem and propose a simple design solution and evaluate it against a set of well defined requirements to assess its potential to provide decision support. The simplistic design proposed in this paper is a new take on decision support in the fiber market.
