This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Decision Support Systems Technologies, ICDSST 2021, held during May 26-28, 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Loughborough, UK, and changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EWG-DSS series of International Conference on Decision Support System Technology (ICDSST) is planned to consolidate the tradition of annual events organized by the EWG-DSS in offering a platform for European and international DSS communities, comprising the academic and industrial sectors, to present state-of-the-art DSS research and developments, to discuss current challenges that surround decision-making processes, to exchange ideas about realistic and innovative solutions, and to co-develop potential business opportunities.

The main aim of this year’s conference is to investigate the role DSS and related technologies can play in mitigating the impact of pandemics and post-crisis recovery.

The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. They were organized in two topical sections named: multiple criteria approaches and advances in decision support systems’ technologies and methods.
