Abstract

Decision support systems represent a new challenge for computer technology experts, management science specialists, and organizational theorists. This paper examines the related topics on the database design for decision support systems. The major emphasis is on the global conceptual model and the unified approach for database design. The entity-relationship model is used for illustrating the unified approach, and the various translation processes are also discussed. A practical example is given. Throughout the paper, the interfaces among the user, the model, and the database are stressed.
