Introduction to Decision Support Systems
Decision support systems (DSSs) are computer programs that, by using expert knowledge, simulation models and/or databases, are of assistance in the decision-making process as they offer management recommendations and/or options. The principal aim of a DSS is to improve the quality, speed and effectiveness of decisions. Since their beginnings in the 1960s, DSSs have been established as being an effective decision-making tool in different areas including agriculture. Weed science has not been immune to their influence, and since the end of the 1980s, a batch of DSSs have been developed towards the recognition and identification of seeds and seedlings, herbicide selection and the economic assessment of management strategies. Despite being powerful tools, DSSs have certain constraints and also a given resistance to their use. I hope that this chapter will serve to give a general insight into DSSs and their use in weed science, as well as to encourage the spreading of these systems in order to establish sustainable agriculture.
