Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Students must propose a research topic related to their area of interest and correlated with decision support systems. The development of this topic must to include published scientific works, and / or case studies. Fortnightly each student presents the evolution of his/her study.

The final evaluation will be obtained on both quality of the document produced (75%) and presentations (25%).
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
