The Decision Analysis Society host web forums for announcements and discussion of topics related to decision analysis teaching, research and practice. The forums are available at:

http://www.syncopation.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=7 .

The DAS forums are hosted by Syncopation Software (the publisher of the DPL decision analysis software package) and are managed by Chris Dalton at Syncopation.

When you visit the discussion boards, you will see two forums: one for announcements and one for discussion. We encourage you to register with the system and to post on any topics that are related to decision analysis and of interest to you. When registering, please use your real name (first and last) so your identity will be clear. The web system is fairly straightforward to use and has extensive help capabilities.

Web forums are a good medium for discussions that involve a large and far-flung community: the history of the discussion is clear and easy to follow and you can link to topics that are being discussed and/or search past discussions. You can also subscribe to topics that interest you so you are notified by email when new posts appear on that topic. (To subscribe, simply hit the "subscribe topic" or "subscribe forum" button at the bottom of the forum or topic page.)
