Consensual Processes Based on Mobile Technologies and Dynamic Information

  • Chapter
Consensual Processes

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 267))

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to present a prototype of decision support system based on mobile technologies and dynamic information. Users can run the system on their own mobile devices in order to provide their preferences at anytime and anywhere. The system provides consensual and selection support to deal with dynamic decision making situations. Furthermore, the system incorporates a mechanism that allows to manage dynamic decision situations in which some information about the problem is not constant through the time, it gives more realism to decision processes with high or dynamic set of alternatives, focussing the discussion in a subset of them that changes in each stage of the process. The experts’ preferences are represented using a linguistic approach. In such a way, we provide a new linguistic framework, that is mobile and dynamic, to deal with group decision making problems.
