Abstract:
Group decision support systems (GDSS) are designed support and enhance the problem solving process of a group of decision makers. The various effects supporting or hindering the commensalism of GDSS and decision making groups have been explored in numerous controlled experiments over the last decade. We present a small yet flavorful selection of the many pertinent observations formulated within this body of literature on GDSS that point at clear opportunities or challenges to the integration of soft computing within GDSS.
