Abstract
The paper addresses the need to build ethics into the process of designing decision support systems. Two examples are offered, in which the essential concept of a DSS is changed considerably when the priniciples of ethics are applied, taking the decision models far beyond the basic quantitative and economic variables customarily employed. Ethical concepts are described first, and their applicability to DSS design is then demonstrated.
