SMART EDUCATION IN SLOVAKIA, BELARUS AND LEBANON AND ITS IMPROVEMENT USING INTELLIGENT DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (IDSS)
Smart educational has been established at all stages of education in Lebanon, Slovakia and Belarus, but in different perspectives. In order to evaluate the usefulness of decisions as well as measure the significance of further competences, Decision support system (DSS), a collaborating information system of computer based that is intended to provide support to outcomes of decision problems, has become a research focus. The intelligent decision support system (IDSS), which is the outcome of the coalescing artificial intelligent (AI) and (DSS), seems to be an efficient tool for improving technical educational. Generally speaking, IDSS is an “interactive computer information system” that can provide assistance to decision-makers for using of facts and figures to solve complex problems. the study intends to use IDSS as a tool to evaluate the quality of decisions and therefore enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of education in the developing countries like Lebanon, Slovakia and Belarus. The study aims to relate the historical background of IDSS, present latest trends, tools and techniques in IDSS and end up with a conclusion enforced with many recommendations for a promising educational development.
