Graphical problem solving in DSS
Pages 33 - 39
Abstract
New hardware and software to support conversational graphics provide a more natural interface between a decision-maker and his/her data/model. They also permit and facilitate the use of new algorithms that exploit the ability of humans to recognize patterns and process two-dimensional data structures (pictures). These capabilities are becoming a major part of the value of Decision Support Systems.
