Graph-based model manipulation in management accounting DSS

The major function of the model management system of a DSS is to support users to manipulate models. In this paper, we describe a model management system in a management accounting decision support system (MADSS). The main feature of MADSS is its graphical interface that can be used to support the user's on-line model manipulation. We discuss the methodologies of graphical modeling, graphical model manipulation, and the benefits it brought to users.
