Citizens in the current fast changing world are facing a great number of challenges, and decisions in relation to citizens’ activities either regarding business, commerce, work, and learning or recreation and social life, are getting more and more complex. ICDSST 2016 Main Theme This ICDSST 2016 will focus on the theme of how DSS can help address various societal challenges (inspired by the EU Horizon 2020 programme) in order to build a better society for us and for future generations to live in. Addressing societal issues is a daily need for each one of us. The various developments within Decision Systems, including collaborative decision making with the use of social networks and web resources; dynamic spatial-temporal decision making; and the existing research behind the technical and social aspects of web-based decision processes can certainly be of great support for future developments for solving societal challenges.
