Multi-Agents Model for Web-based Collaborative Decision Support Systems.
Abdelkader Adla, Bakhta Nachet · 2012
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a Multi-agent model for web-based collaborative decision support system in which a facilitator and group decision makers are supported by agents. The integrated agents into web-based collaborative decision support system constitute a collection of autonomous collaborative problem solving intelligent agents, goal-directed, proactive and self-starting behaviour; interact with other agents and humans in order to solve problems. Specifically, agents were used to collect information and generate alternatives that would allow the user to focus on solutions that were found to be significant. The decision making process, applied to the boilers defects in an oil plant, relies on a cycle that includes recognition of the causes of a defect (diagnosis), plan actions to solve the incidences and, execution of the selected actions.
