Decision Support System


Decision support system (DSS) is an information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help people make decisions about problems that may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance—i.e. unstructured and semi-structured decision problems. Decision support systems can be either fully computerized or human-powered, or a combination of both.

DSS include knowledge-based systems. A properly designed DSS is an interactive software-based system intended to help decision makers compile useful information from a combination of raw data, documents, and personal knowledge, or business models to identify and solve problems and make decisions.

Typical information that a decision support application might gather and present includes
·         inventories of information assets (including legacy and relational data sources, cubes, data warehouses, and data marts),
·         comparative sales figures between one period and the next,
·         projected revenue figures based on product sales assumptions

Decision support systems are interactive, computer-based systems that aid users in judgment and choice activities. They provide data storage and retrieval but enhance the traditional information access and retrieval functions with support for model building and model-based reasoning. They support framing, modeling, and problem solving. Typical application areas of DSS are management and planning in business, health care, the military, and any area in which management will encounter complex decision situations. Decision support systems are typically used for strategic and tactical decisions faced by upper-level management decisions with a reasonably low frequency and high potential consequences in which the time taken for thinking through and modeling the problem pays off generously in the long run.

DSS is an application that produces comprehensive information. This is different from an operations application, which is used to collect data. A DSS is primarily used by mid- to upper-level management and is key for understanding large amounts of data. For example, a DSS may be used to project a company's revenue over the upcoming six months based on new assumptions about product sales. Due to a large number of variables that surround projected revenue figures, this is not a straightforward calculation that can be done manually. A DSS can integrate multiple variables and generate an outcome and alternate outcomes, all based on the company's past product sales data and current variables.

Artifical Neural Network

Artificial Neural Network  is a computational model based on the structure and functions of biological neural networks. Information that flows through the network affects the  a neural network changes or learns, based on that input and output. So the point is  to create a computational system that could solve problems like a human brain. The Neural Networks was founded by  Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943. Then it was upgraded with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 1975 by Kunijiko Fukushima called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) .   Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts Today  Neural Networks are important in information age, because help society to solve complex problems in real life condition. They can learn from model the relationships between inputs and outputs that are nonlinear and complex; make generalizations and inferences; reveal hidden relationships, patterns and predictions (such as financial time series data) and varianc...

Categories and Types of Artificial Intelligence

AI has 2 categories namely weak or strong. Weak AI also known as narrow AI. Weak AI is an AI system designed and trained for certain tasks. Weak AI can be a virtual personal assistant, like Apple Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Home. While strong AI, also known as general artificial intelligence, is an AI system with general human cognitive abilities. When a special task is presented, a strong AI system can find its own solution without human intervention. S trong AI acts more like a brain. It does not classify, but uses clustering and association to process data. In short, it means there isn’t a set answer to your keywords.  Beside that, an assistant professor of integrative biology and computer science engineering at Michigan State University, Arend Hintze, categorizes AI into 4 types, ranging from existing AI systems to AI systems that are still in design. The categories are as follows: Reactive machine. An example is Deep Blue, the IBM chess program that defeated Garr...

SHAVIRA KHAIRUNISSA DEVIE 106218005, IR A [ Assignment for Pengantar Teknologi Informasi ] Today I wanna talk about Supercomputer. What is make supercomputer become highly super system? The secret behind supercomputer? Okay, we've known a long way ago that MITS developed the first personal computer in 1974, which was sold and help as a tool that the customer use for their daily activities also assemble the machine themselves. I will try to be as up-to-date and compactly report as possible. Also on these grounds I think there is a place that the supercomputer market is a very dynamic, the number of vendors that sell has boomed accordingly. At anytime we know one of the most powerful and fastest computers to solve the scientific and engineering problems or significant amount of data very quickly is Supercomputer.  A well-adopted metric is the number of floating-point operations per seconds (FLOPS) such a system can carry out for the operation itself. ...
