Design and Decision Support Systems 2010

The DDSS conference is a bi-annual conference with a focus on issues pertinent to the development of design and decision support systems, their application to architectural design and urban planning problems, and the theory underlying such systems. It aims to bring together scholars working in different fields of application to discuss issues of mutual interest.

Research topics that are welcomed to the conference include:

• Computer Aided Architectural Design
• Geographical Information Systems
• Knowledge-based Systems and Conceptual Modelling
• Simulation and Evaluation
• Design Support Tools
• Planning & Decision Support
• Virtual Environments
• Urban Development Scenarios
