As organizations increasingly rely on data-driven strategies, solving complex decision-making problems requires approaches that combine the strengths of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Soft Computing, and Operations Research (OR). Researchers working in these interdisciplinary areas now have an opportunity to contribute to a special collection dedicated to advancing intelligent decision support for real-world applications. About the Collection This special collection welcomes extended papers from the Decision Science Summit (DSA ISC 2026) , held at the University of Madrid, Spain, on 18–19 June 2026 . Importantly, submissions are not limited to conference participants —the collection is open to all researchers whose work aligns with its scope. Submission Deadline: 31 October 2026 Scope of the Collection The collection focuses on innovative methods that integrate AI, Soft Computing, and Operations Research to address complex decision-making under uncertainty. Researchers are encouraged t...
