In a few instances, the systems also possess some ability to learn using deduction or supervised induction. We introduce a novel AI-based system for generating static schedules that makes heavy use of an unsupervised learning module in acquiring significant portions of the requisite problem processing knowledge. This scheduler pursues a hybrid schedule generation strategy wherein it effectively combines knowledge acquired via genetics-based unsupervised induction with rotelearned knowledge in generating high-quality schedules in an efficient manner. Through a series of experiments conducted on a randomly generated problem of practical complexity, we show that the hybrid scheduler strategy is viable, promising, and, worthy of more in-depth investigations.

The problem processing components of DSSs that subscribe to existing DSS paradigms typically utilize supertrised learning strategies to acquire problem processing knowledge (PPK). On the other hand, the problem processor of an Adaptive DSS utilizes unsupervised inductive learning, perhaps in addition to other forms of learning, to acquire some of the necessary PPK. Thus, Adaptive DSSs are, to some extent, self-teaching systems with comparatively less reliance on external agents for PPK acquisition. To illustrate these notions, we examine an application in the domain concerned with the scheduling of jobs in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). We provide an architectural description for an Adaptive DSS for supporting static scheduling decisions in FMSs. We illustrate key problem processing features of the system using an example. A prototype system, based on this architecture, is currently under implementation.

However, there is little research evidence to date demonstrating the value of complying with these guidelines. In this paper,

If organization learning is viewed as the process whereby knowledge is developed, then organization design both influences the organizational learning that occurs and is at least a partial reflection of the organizational learning that has occurred.

As such, it serves as an initial ontology for business analytics as a field of study. The foundation has three main parts dealing with the whence and whither of business analytics: identification of dimensions along which business analytics possibilities can be examined, derivation of a sixclass taxonomy that covers business analytics perspectives in the literature, and design of an inclusive framework for the field of business analytics. In addition to unifying the literature, a major contribution of the designed framework is that it can stimulate thinking about the nature, roles, and future of business analytics initiatives. We show how this is done by deducing a host of unresolved issues for consideration by researchers, practitioners, and educators. We find that business analytics involves issues quite aside from data management, number crunching, technology use, systematic reasoning, and so forth.

A formal model at this level is presently absent from negotiation support systems. The model is formally expressed in terms of definitions and postulates that describe eight important negotiation parameters. Relationships between the model and research in game theory, social behavior science, and decision support systems fields are examined.

This article chronicles that debate by examining both philosophical and pragmatic perspectives. It also contributes to the debate by offering a hierarchic taxonomy of forums for publishing business computing research. The taxonomy's first stratum consists of two categori¢~ academic journals and practitioner publications. Academic journals are further categorized by three orientutious--business/managerial, computer science/engineering and general/ social sciences. The first of these is further segmented, including the identification of five categories of journals devoted to business computing research. The roots and relationships of categories within the taxonomy are analyzed in light of existing studies. Empirical support for the business computing categories is presented.
