A possible evolution from the decision support system to the solution system for business usage

For years there have not been really innovative or revolutionary ideas in the field of business intelligence. Therefore the hor of this study asks the question: "If the computer delivers the information which is needed by the humans to make decisions, then why can't the computer make the decision by itself"? By comprehensible examples it is shown how we can do one step beyond common data warehouse and mining systems. Giving practical examples, the hor explains how a transformation of data, information, mathematical results and the human will into executable solutions can be realised. Since the study offers a broad spectrum ranging from technical basics and algorithms to philosophic questions about responsibility and conscience, it is a basic reading for every scientist, student or developer who is going to explore the field of omised decision making and solution systems. Thomas H. Lenhard was born in 1967 in Germany.
