DSS : Decision Support Systems :

In general, we can say that a DSS is a computerized system for helping make decisions. A decision is a choice between alternatives based on estimates of the values of those alternatives. Supporting a decision means helping people working alone or in a group gather intelligence, generate alternatives and make choices. Supporting the choice making process involves supporting the estimation, the evaluation and/or the comparison of alternatives. In practice, references to DSS are usually references to computer applications that perform such a supporting role

Online Transaction Processing : OLTP also refers to computer processing in which the computer responds immediately to user requests. An automatic teller machine for a bank is an example of transaction processing.
