Abstract

The data stored in many distributed sources is often used in decision making processes. However, the determination of a one, consistent version of its elements (called in this paper as a consensus) could be a very time- and cost-consuming. Therefore, the balance between these factors and the quality the results is needed. This paper is devoted to designing and analysing some methods of the consensus determination. The main aim of conducted experiments is to find the most efficient algorithm which achieves the best quality of the results in the shortest possible time.
