A framework for specifying group decision-making mechanisms
Luke Hunsberger · 2005
Collaborating agents need to make group decisions to establish their initial commitment to a proposed group activity [8] and, once committed, to coordinate the updating of their intentions related to that activity [6]. (We call the first sort context-free group decisions and the latter context-bound.) In addition, collaborating agents must be able to reason effectively about their participation in group decision-making processes.
