BOOK

Decision-making has evolved recently thanks to the introduction
of information and communication technologies in many
organizations, which has led to new kinds of decision-making
processes, called "collaborative decision-making", at the
organizational and cognitive levels. This book looks at the
development of the decision-making process in organizations
Decision-aiding and its paradigm of problem solving are defined
showing how decision-makers now need to work in a cooperative
way. Definitions of cooperation and associated concepts such as
collaboration and coordination are given and a framework of
cooperative decision support systems is presented, including
intelligent DSS, cooperative knowledge-based systems, workflow
group support systems, collaborative engineering, integrating
with a collaborative decision-making model in part or being part
of global projects. Several models and experimental studies are
also included showing that these new processes have to be
supported by new types of tools, several of which are described
in order to calculate or simulate solutions or global solutions
for decision-making modification. Definitions and new trends for
these models are given, along with types of
systems
