You should contact Gerard Wijers of the Socrates project of SERC in the
Netherlands. They are building a CASE tool generator, also called CASE shell,
based on operationalized software process descriptions. 

His e-mail is: socrates-info@serc.nl

The meta-modeling formalisms, on which this tool is based, can be extended 
for your DSS and CSCW purposes, but the notions of decision and task already
exist. They have about 15 papers in the public domain.
