Abstract: For a Decision Support System (DSS) to be process independent, it must be flexible. That is, it must be possible to enter and use it at any point in the decision process. Process flexibility can be obtained by reversing (inverting) model functions. Using a DSS for ski area design, we implement functional reversal and deal with further operational issues such as model choice and decision intent. A trade-off among logic design, model code, and dialog code is faced in building this flexible DSS for ski area design.
