Interaction Platforms of the EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems
EWG-DSS Blog & LinkedIN EWG-DSS Group
The creation of this EWG-DSS blog, as well as the creation of the EWG-DSS group in LinkedIn go towards the Group-Coordination-Board’s main goals of providing new ways to keep us working together, as well as of innovating our interaction approaches. We encourage the interest and cooperation of all researchers, who participate in this blog and who join the EWG-DSS Group in LinkedIn. Both environments serve as platforms for all of us, members of the group, to better interact as well as have a better reach of our academic production within the various fields around Decision Support.
A Social-Academic Network for EWG-DSS
The Coordination Board is currently also conducting a study about research interests of the group members, to draw a knowledge map on Decision Support Systems. This project targets mainly to disseminate research being conducted by members of the group. As a primary step, we will develop a social structure for the group, using us – the group members – as its defined population. By doing this, we will devise a socialacademic network analysis for identifying the collaboration relationship that exits among the EWG-DSS members on one hand, and also provide a useful feedback for further collaboration in joint research on the other, hopefully encouraging new research and academic cooperation within the group.
Preliminary results of this project were already presented in the DSS Streams of the 2009 – EURO XXIII Conference in Bonn and of the 2010 – EURO XXIV Conference in Lisbon.
Update:
The presentation below, entitled: “A Collaboration Network for the EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems”, was given as an invited talk on 17.11.2009 by Fátima Dargam at the Statistics and Operations Research Department of the University of Graz in Austria.
Dear EWG-DSS Members!
To carry on the work on the academic-social-net for the group, we need your help! We need some information, concerning research areas and main publications of the involved agents, to be provided by the group members. Hence, we kindly request that ALL the members of the EWG-DSS group (YOU nclusive!) provide us with some relevant information,concerning a list of main publications (since 1989). Please reply to us (here or via e-mail to F.Dargam@SimTechnology.com, with C.c. to Zarate@irit.fr), including the requested information. In turn, we will keep you informed about the status of this project as time goes by.
As you can see, your participation is of vital importance for the success
of this work!
In the EURO XXIII Conference in Bonn, July 5-8,2009, we present some results of the EWG-DSS Social-Academic Network, based on input data from 70 members of the group, including 1350 publications (from 1989 to 2008) within 34 topics of research areas around our main common area of decision making. A preliminary written report will also be available after the conference. If you are interested in it, get in touch with us for a copy.
Better would be to talk to you personally in Bonn about it, of course!
Best wishes, Fatima.
