Abstract
While the importance of evaluation in DSS is widely accepted, it has been rarely discussed due to the disparity between the interests of scholars and of practitioners. In this chapter, evaluation tools are schematized from a practitioners’ point of view. That is, practitioners might be able to choose appropriate evaluating methods for their own purposes and circumstances using the following guidelines.
