The EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems (EWG-DSS) was founded with 24 participants of the EURO Summer Institute on DSS that took place at Madeira, Portugal, in May 1989. Since then, the number of EWG-DSS members has substantially grown. Now we are over 140 members coming from various nationalities. There has also been established quiet a few well-qualified research co-operations within the group members, which have generated valuable contributions to the DSS field in journal publications. Since its creation, the EWG-DSS has held annual Meetings in various European countries, and has taken active part in the many of the last EURO K Conferences, organizing streams on decision-making related subjects.
