Co-decision within Cooperative Processes: Analysis, Design and Implementation Issues
Giorgio De Michelis · 1996
This paper analyzes group decision making from a pragmatic point of view, as a sub-process of a cooperative process. It shows how group decision making is carried on through two different co-decision forms (namely co-decision with equal and distinct roles) depending on the positional relations of its participants. Since the position (client or performer) of a participant in a co-decision is highly context dependent, co-decision support systems must enhance the awareness of their users with respect to the cooperative process and the positional relation where they are situated.
