Abstract: Modern enterprises face a highly dynamic environment that requires management to integrate distributed and disparate knowledge for effective decision-making. The advent of the Internet has resulted in a trend toward network centric computing. As a result, more of the computing work is delegated to the computer and the underlying systems. For many years, researchers have been working towards the development of shareable and re-usable problem-solving components to support decision-making. Internetworking technologies provide a new means of sharing decision support functionalities and delivering decision support capabilities. Corporate decision makers are not willing to cede control of corporate data and models to internet-based DSS, as a result enterprise-wide knowledge portals (corporate intranet-based DSS) has been developed to overcome this shortcoming. The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is one such integration approach. This paper describes how this approach can improve the enterprise decision support systems.
