ubiDSS: a framework of multi-agent based proactive decision support system with context-awareness

The emergence of ubiquitous computing environment changes the service architecture of business information systems such as decision support system (DSS). Our aim is to describe how the decision-making capability and context-aware computing are jointly used to establish ubiquitous applications. To do so, an amended DSS paradigm: CKDDM (context-knowledge-dialogue-data-model) is proposed. Under the CKDDM paradigm, a framework of ubiquitous decision support systems (ubiDSS) is addressed with the description of the subsystems within. To show the feasibility of ubiDSS, a prototype, CAMA-myOpt (context-aware multiagent system - my optimization), has been developed.
