IS/DSS: DBMS Support for Information Systems Development

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the design for a generic Information System Development Support System (IS/DSS), i.e., a computer-based system to assist the various participants involved in developing an information system. A secondary objective is to demonstrate, by example, the types of considerations and design implications involved when attempting to develop a DBMS-based DSS.
