Decision support system design and development issues: the HRSOS experience

Pages 159-182 | Published online: 18 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

To better quarter personnel, the Department of Defense (DOD) has entered into experimental joint ventures with private developers to construct attractive housing projects on military installation property. A decision support system, called the Housing Revitalization Support Office System (HRSOS), has been developed to support the financial analysis of the joint ventures. By improving the analysis, this system is expected to save the DOD about $600,000 above design, development, and maintenance costs during the demonstration phase of the privatization program. To obtain the benefits, the HRSO experience suggests that DSS design, development, and implementation should be a team effort through an adaptive design strategy. It also indicates that an integrated suite of software development and implementation tools, offering rapid prototyping, computer assisted software engineering, and object-oriented analysis, can promote this strategy.
