in cooperation with Birbeck University of London, invites you to participate
on the “EWG-DSS London-2011" Workshop on Decision Systems period of
June 23^rd to June 24^th, 2011.

The purpose of this Workshop is to provide an informal setting in which the

to Decision Making and Decision Support, will have the opportunity to discuss
technical, methodological and social aspects for developing DSSs.
