A multi-agent system to support location based group decision making in mobile teams

摘要

This paper describes an agent-based approach for developing a location-based asynchronous group decision-support system for\udmobile teams. The approach maximises the use of reusable service components (GSCmas — generic service component for\udmulti-agent systems) as the main interaction mechanism between agents to allow flexible support of a new group-decision\udprocess. The paper describes the architecture of a GSCmas and provides details of how the GSCmas is integrated within a decision\udsupport system. Finally a system (mPower) based on the proposed approach is introduced and applied to a location-based group\uddecision problem.
