The ICDSST 2026 will be jointly organised by the Euro-Working Group on Decision Support System (EWG-DSS) and University of Plymouth, UK. It aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues and collaboration, encouraging forward-thinking decision approaches that align DSS technology with long-term societal, business and organisational prosperity.
The conference will centre on the theme “Decision Support System Technology for Sustainable and Resilient Transitions” offering a platform to explore how DSS can drive and support a wide range of transition, green transition, digital transition, skills transition, societal transition, organisation transition and supply chain transition. We invite academics, researchers, developers, practitioners, innovators and policymakers to share insights and promote collaborations regarding methodologies, processes, models, tools, frameworks and applications that contribute to the design, development and utilisation advanced DSS technologies to support all sorts of transitions.
