College Curriculum Decision Support System

The characteristics of Curricula-decision in high education school are analyzed and some problems which exist in current Curricula-decision are also discovered.

Furthermore, it is suggested that Decisional Support includes not only support of content & method, but also support of intelligence & technique, and they are even related to each other, which can be efficiently integrated by technology of computer, network, multimedia and hyper-text.what is more, conceptual model for Curricula Decision Support System (CDSS) is put forward which is described in the case of concept expansion, technology condition, characteristic analysis and idea revolution. In addition, some analysis of CDSS is done in aspect of its technology program. At the same time, some modules, of which their relationships are shown, are selected to buildup CDSS.It is advanced that CDSS should need some basic units which exist in DSS, and present some characteristics and functions of DSS. Furthermore, CDSS should play role in support for curricula-decision efficiently, improve decisionmaker's information environment and knowledge structure helpfully, and provide intelligence support for decisionmaker according to his (or her) requirement conveniently.In definition, CDSS, based on the new platform of IT, network and web, is an information system, which is not only composed of database, knowledgebase, modelbase, casebase and expert systems with Curricula-decision self-characteristics, but also integrated by these function-basis.
