Despite the growing need for decision support in the digital age, there has not been an adequate increase of interest in research and development in Decision Support Systems (DSSs). In our view, the vision for a new type of DSS should provision a tighter integration with the problem domain, and include decision implementation phase. We argue that an adequate DSS in our dynamic era should be situated in the problem environment. We propose a generic architecture for such DSS incorporating sensors, effectors, and enhanced interfaces in addition to traditional DSS kernel. We suggest the term ieDecision Stationlo to refer to such situated DSS. We further elaborate on the possibilities to implement situated DSS in different segments of e-business. We argue in favor of using intelligent agents as the basis of new type of DSS. We further propose architecture and describe a prototype for such DSS.
