Decision Support Systems XIV. Human centric decision and negotiation support for societal transitions

Abstract

This fourteenth edition of the EWG-DSS Decision Support Systems published in the LNBIP series presents a selection of high-quality papers from the 10th International Conference on Decision Support System Technology (ICDSST 2024), held in Porto, Portugal, from 3-5 June, 2024. The conference was held in parallel with the 24th International Conference on Group Decision and Negotiation. Both conferences were under the main theme "Human-centric decision and negotiation support for societal transitions". The event was organized by a local team from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, in collaboration with both the EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems (EWG-DSS) and the Group Decision and Negotiation section from INFORMS. This joint conference happened ten years after the last conference the two groups collaborated to organize, which was held in Toulouse, France, with a special focus: Group Decision Making and Web 3.0. That year marked the beginning of the ICDSST conferences, officially starting the next year in Belgrade. The EWG-DSS series of International Conferences on Decision Support System Technology (ICDSST) was 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.
