Decision Support Systems XI: Decision Support Systems, Analytics and Technologies in Response to Global Crisis Management

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Decision Support Systems Technologies, ICDSST 2021, held during May 26-28, 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Loughborough, UK, and changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The EWG-DSS series of International Conference on Decision Support System Technology (ICDSST) is planned to consolidate the tradition of annual events organized by the EWG-DSS in offering a platform for European and international DSS communities, comprising the academic and industrial sectors, to present state-of-the-art DSS research and developments, to discuss current challenges that surround decision-making processes, to exchange ideas about realistic and innovative solutions, and to co-develop potential business opportunities.

The main aim of this year's conference is to investigate the role DSS and related technologies can play in mitigating the impact of pandemics and post-crisis recovery.

The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. They were organized in two topical sections named: multiple criteria approaches and advances in decision support systems' technologies and methods.
