Selected Periodicals

To stay abreast of ongoing advances in the decision support system field, it is helpful to monitor a variety of periodicals that publish articles dealing with DSS issues and the proceedings of conferences concerned with DSS research. We identify leading periodicals that should be candidates for regular monitoring. For conference information, see Announcements.
