Abstract

The increasing complexity and variety of software solutions in modern industries necessitate effective decision-making tools to assist organizations in evaluating and selecting the most appropriate software for their needs. This paper explores the architecture of an advanced software evaluation decision support system (DSS) employing the Weighted Sum Algorithm (WSA) for multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The system provides an efficient and transparent method for evaluating software based on multiple criteria, helping decision-makers prioritize factors such as performanceThis paper examines Architecture of an advanced software evaluation DSS using Weighted Sum, usability, cost, and technical support. The paper also discusses the integration of various decisionmaking factors, data collection methods, and the system’s implementation, while highlighting its effectiveness in supporting complex decision-making processes in real-world scenarios.
