Comparison of Alternative Processes for Support Decisions

Abstract

There are many tasks that revolve around combinatorial analysis problems, same tasks found in Decision Support Systems (DSS) as most of these are responsible for assessing a number of possibilities to deliver the best options. Within the analysis of possible solutions is performed by the DSS there are alternative procedures inside the engine for making decisions that involve them. As part of these alternative procedures today has highlighted the use of metaheuristics, thus in this paper we propose a comparison of some of them trying to broaden the spectrum we have for the applications nowadays.
