The technical and social systems of the present day are ever more large, complex and
complicated objects. Their models are characterized by numerous state and control …

Supporting decision-making processes when the elements of a group are geographically
dispersed and on a tight schedule is a complex task. Aiming to support decision-makers …

In this work, we propose an argumentation-based dialogue model designed for Web-based
Group Decision Support Systems, that considers the decision-makers' intentions. The …

The paper highlights the computational power of swarming models (ie, stigmergic
mechanisms) to build collaborative support systems for complex cognitive tasks such as …

The paper investigates the cognitive complexity associated with the design of group
decision processes (GDP) in relation with some basic contextual factors such us task …

Gathering a group of managers or executives (decision-makers) in a same place and at a
same time is not an easy task. In fact, the decision-makers' schedule is so tight that it …

This paper aim to present a multi-agent model for a simulation system, whose goal is to help
one specific participant of multi-criteria group decision making process. This model has five …

In this paper, we investigate the possibility to develop intelligent agent‐based complex
systems that use evolutionary learning techniques in order to adapt for the efficient solving of …

Agents are designed to be autonomous problem-solvers, possibly communicating with other
agents and users, and are therefore equipped with sufficient cognitive abilities to reason …

Agents who represent participants in the group decision-making context require a certain
number of individual traits in order to be successful. By using argumentation models, agents …
