Building Decision Support Systems

Focusing on intelligent decision support systems (IDSS), this book guides readers through building these systems using MiniZinc, an open-source constraint programming language. It covers the design and behavior of IDSS projects, introduces combinatorial optimization problems, and emphasizes the importance of modeling for problem-solving. The text details various algorithms for decision support, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, and addresses scalability challenges. Practical applications and puzzles are included to enhance the learning experience.
