7. Software demonstration. Each group should review, examine, and demonstrate in class a different state-ofthe-

art DSS software product. The specific packages depend on your instructor and the group interests. You may need to download a demo from a vendor’s Web site, depending on your instructor’s directions. Be sure to get a running demo version, not a slide show. Do a half-hour in-class presentation, which should include an explanation of why the software is appropriate for assisting in decision making, a hands-on demonstration of selected important capabilities of the software, and your critical evaluation of the software. Try to make your presentation interesting and instructive to the whole class. The main purpose of the class presentation is for class members to see as much state-of-the-art software as possible, both in breadth (through the presentations by other groups) and in depth (through the experience you have in exploring the ins and outs of one particular software product). Write a 5- to 10-page report on your findings and comments regarding this software. Include screenshots in your report. Would you recommend this software to anyone? Why or why not?
