Abstract
This paper describes groupware that provides intelligent decision support based on the application of classical decision theory. The core of the system is essentially a group editor that supports the development of a common decision model in the form of an influence diagram. The groupware component supports flexible collaboration for a wide range of users and situations. The decision theory component provides a rigorous and widely applicable aid to decision making.
