“…However, each university adopted different research philosophies and methods when studying GDSS. The University of Arizona adopted the EMS model proposed by Jay Nunamaker, Alan Dennis, Benn Konsynski, Doug Vogel, Joe Valacich, and others (Dennis et al, 1988). This model was grounded in an engineering worldview and its proponents believed that group performance and behavior could be improved by imposing an efficient structure on the group through specific processes and technologies.…”

Research Article Rudy HirschheimLouisiana State University rudy@lsu.edu Heinz K. Klein State University of New YorkIn this paper, the more than 40-year history of the information systems discipline is discussed by dividing history into four somewhat overlapping eras. For each era, important events that occurred are highlighted. The events are categorized as "management/governance of the IS function", "technology", "research themes", "research methodology ", "education", and "infrastructure" (organizations, conferences, journals, etc.). The paper then speculates on what the value would be if the IS community were to adopt a shared history. The paper contends that such a shared history would be effective in helping to bridge the communication gaps that exist between the different sub-communities that make up the discipline.

“…This definition can be expanded to include communication and information processing (Kraemer and King, 1988). GSS are typically implemented as electronic meeting systems (EMS) (Dennis et al, 1988) or group decision systems (GDS) (Pervan and Atkinson, 1995).…”

This paper critically analyses the nature and state of decision support systems (DSS) research. To provide context for the analysis, a history of DSS is presented which focuses on the evolution of a number of sub-groupings of research and practice: personal decision support systems, group support systems, negotiation support systems, intelligent decision support systems, knowledge managementbased DSS, executive information systems/business intelligence, and data warehousing. To understand the state of DSS research an empirical investigation of published DSS research is presented. This investigation is based on the detailed analysis of 1,020 DSS articles published in 14 major journals from 1990 to 2003. The analysis found that DSS publication has been falling steadily since its peak in 1994 and the current publication rate is at early 1990s levels. Other findings include that personal DSS and group support systems dominate research activity and data warehousing is the least published type of DSS. The journal DSS is the major publishing outlet; US 'Other' journals dominate DSS publishing and there is very low exposure of DSS in European journals. Around two-thirds of DSS research is empirical, a much higher proportion than general IS research. DSS empirical research is
