At the University of Florida, extensive course material is being developed to impart decision support system development skills to undergraduate and graduate students in industrial engineering and operations research (IE/OR) and business school students. Decision support systems (DSS) combine databases, spreadsheets, models, analysis, optimization, simulation, and allow user interactability with graphical user interfaces and are being widely used in industries these days. Several faculty members at other universities have expressed the desire to learn this course material and offer these courses in their departments. To meet this need, the following two three-day instructor-training workshops are being offered: (i) Developing Spreadsheet-Based Decision Support Systems; (ii) Developing Web-Enabled Decision Support Systems from August 1 to August 7, 2004. The workshop website www.ise.ufl.edu/dss provides more details about these workshops. These workshops will teach the subject material of two courses and will also provide suggestions on how to teach these courses successfully. Several faculty members and senior doctoral students beginning academic careers are expected to attend these workshops and this grant will cover part of their expenses. These workshops are expected to be attended by over 100 participants and will facilitate the development of several decision support systems development courses at many universities. It is also expected that these courses will become required courses for undergraduate students. The skills imparted by these courses will give them sufficient background to develop spreadsheet or database based and web-enabled decision support systems. As organizations become larger and more complex in the years to come, decision support systems will gain widespread popularity, and knowing how to develop such systems will make IE/OR and business school students active participants in the information revolution transforming our society.

在佛罗里达大学，正在编写广泛的课程材料，向工业工程和运筹学（IE/OR）的本科生和研究生以及商学院的学生传授决策支持系统开发技能。决策支持系统（DSS）结合了联合收割机数据库、电子表格、模型、分析、优化、模拟，并允许用户与图形用户界面进行交互，并且这些天正在工业中广泛使用。其他大学的几位教员也表示希望学习这门课程的材料，并在他们的系里开设这些课程。为满足这一需要，将于2004年8月1日至8月7日举办以下两个为期三天的决策者培训讲习班：㈠开发基于数据表的决策支持系统; ㈡开发基于网络的决策支持系统。研讨会网站www.ise.ufl.edu/dss提供了有关这些研讨会的更多详细信息。这些讲习班将教授两门课程的主题材料，并就如何成功教授这些课程提出建议。一些教师和高年级博士生开始学术生涯预计将参加这些讲习班，这笔赠款将支付他们的部分费用。这些讲习班预计将有100多人参加，并将促进在许多大学开设若干决策支助系统开发课程。预计这些课程也将成为本科生的必修课。这些课程传授的技能将使他们有足够的背景来开发基于电子表格或数据库的网络决策支持系统。随着组织在未来几年变得越来越大，越来越复杂，决策支持系统将获得广泛的普及，知道如何开发这样的系统将使IE/OR和商学院的学生积极参与信息革命，改变我们的社会。
