Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of new business models applied to the present day enterprises and organizations, multi-participant decision-making activities have gained ever more traction. Over the latest decades, the vast majorities of decisions are made by collaborative groups and collectivities, and even negotiation panels. Consensus building, solution selection, and crowdsourcing-based decisions have been supported by modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) available on the market.
The Special Issue is meant to include papers that contain recent results obtained by research teams from academia and industry concerning the following topics:
- Methods for consensus building and selection;
- Crowdsourcing methods and platforms;
- Computer supported collaboration and collaboration engineering;
- Modern ICT enabling effective collaborative decision-making activities, such as: a) AI-based tools including service-oriented cognitive systems and multi-agent cooperative schemes, b) Big Data analytics software, c) cloud and mobile computing, d) Biometric systems for e-collaboration;
- Multi-person Decision Support Systems (MDSS) and platforms;
- Special cases of DSS, such as: recommender systems and systems designed to support real-time decision-making in crisis situations.
We kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue!
Dr. Cristian Ciurea
