520 0  This book presents real-world decision support systems, 
       i.e., systems that have been running for some time and as 
       such have been tested in real environments and complex 
       situations; the cases are from various application domains
       and highlight the best practices in each stage of the 
       systemℓ́ℓs life cycle, from the initial requirements 
       analysis and design phases to the final stages of the 
       project. Each chapter provides decision-makers with 
       recommendations and insights into lessons learned so that 
       failures can be avoided and successes repeated. For this 
       reason unsuccessful cases, which at some point of their 
       life cycle were deemed as failures for one reason or 
       another, are also included. All decision support systems 
       are presented in a constructive, coherent and deductive 
       manner to enhance the learning effect. It complements the 
       many works that focus on theoretical aspects or individual
       module design and development by offering ℓ́ℓgoodℓ́ℓ and 
       ℓ́ℓbadℓ́ℓ practices when developing and using decision 
       support systems. Combining high-quality research with real
       -world implementations, it is of interest to researchers 
       and professionals in industry alike. ℓ́ℓA book on real 
       case studies in Decision Support Systems is a much-needed 
       publication in an area where most literature has been 
       dedicated to theory, underestimating the empirical 
       dimension of decision-making support. I am very glad to 
       see this book appearing. It really fills a gapℓ́ℓ.

       is informative, interesting, and inter-disciplinary. It 
       exemplifies how Decision Support Systems can transform, 
       influence, and impact real-world practicesℓ́ℓ. Professor

       very attractive book that undoubtedly augments our 
       understanding of Decision Support Systems and their myriad
       of applications. I would like to offer my congratulations 
       to the authors and recommend the book to all potential 
       readers". Professor Jos©♭ Mar©Ưa Moreno-Jimenez, Faculty
