Facilitating Virtual Group Decision Making

AbstractDistributed environments that use decision making systems help decision makers in their tasks related to distributed decision making problem solving; it's called facilitating virtual decision making process. Several technologies have been developed to help actors to achieve the decision making process in traditional context (meeting room). However, such technologies still have their limitations in real-time communication and efficient collaboration when are used in distributed environments. This paper presents some existing technologies, frameworks and describes issues to automate a list of functions that can be used to facilitate the process of decision making in distributed environments
