The components of a Decision Support System (DSS) offer the strategic, tactical and operational decision makers the required tools to plan and complete the set of projects necessary for the development of a Smart City and/or Smart Home. The rapid evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Cloud Computing Services, the Internet-of-Things, Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS), as well as the development of new mathematical models, artificial intelligence and data storage capabilities, position DSS at a unique advantage as a continuously improving tool in the process of planning and completing complex projects. This paper presents the concepts of decisions, decision modeling and decision making, decision support systems, collaborative systems etc. and how these concepts can be useful in the context of a Smart City development project.
