ABSTRACT: Without substitute decision-maker, decision support system, through their components,
can facilitate the work of decision-maker by providing useful clues to solving problems and
identifying opportunities. Choosing an optimal solution in case of complex decision making
processes, with a degree of uncertainty, involving a series of interdependent decisions, performed in
several periods of time, can be achieved using decision trees. Suggestive and simple properties
propel decision trees among the tools with a high degree of adoption and integration in electronic
decisional systems.

Key words: tree, decision, risk, rollback, certainty
