We introduce the concept of a network DSS (NWDSS)
consisting of fluid, heterogeneous nodes of human
and machine agents, connected by wireless
technology, which may enter and leave the network at
unpredictable times, yet must also cooperate in
decision-making activities. We describe
distinguishing properties of the NWDSS and propose
a 3-tier conceptual model comprised of digital
infrastructure, transactive memory systems and
emergent collaborative decision-making. We suggest
a decision loop of Sense-Analyze-Adapt-Memory
leveraging TMS as a starting point for addressing the
agile collaborative requirements of emergent
decision-making. Several examples of innovative
NWDSS services are presented from Naval
Postgraduate School field experiments.
