Abstract: | The purpose of this article is to explore the promise of autonomous software agents in Decision Support Systems (DSS). Because definitions of software agents extant in the literature are divergent, the authors develop and provide a descriptive definition useful for this purpose. The benefits of agents and the particular characteristics of agents leading to DSS enrichment are examined. To facilitate this the authors build a DSS described elsewhere in the literature and enhance it with different types of autonomous software agents. |
