Modular Software to Support Parliamentary Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parliamentary procedure is a widely used system of rules for group decision making. Software can help people engage formal group deliberation in familiar face-to-face settings, and can also enable computer-mediated online deliberation. This paper presents a reusable software module, Parliament, that implements the logic and bookkeeping of parliamentary procedure using a separately modifiable specification of the rules. A prototype application for supporting face-to-face meetings is described. Together with a working partial specification of Robert’s Rules of Order, the application provides a demonstration and testbed for the module. Future directions are proposed for both the module and the prototype application, and some related work is mentioned.

متن کاملStrategy-aligned fuzzy approach for market segment evaluation and selection: a modular decision support system by dynamic network process (DNP)
In competitive markets, market segmentation is a critical point of business, and it can be used as a generic strategy. In each segment, strategies lead companies to their targets; thus, segment selection and the application of the appropriate strategies over time are very important to achieve successful business.

متن کاملTransparent government: Parliamentary and legal accountability in an information age
There are several indications that the (long-term) memory of electronic government is in danger and that this decline in organizational memory may have important negative effects on accountability. Case study research in the Netherlands, however, highlights the positive effects of the use of information and communication technologies for parliamentary and legal accountability. Although technolo...
متن کاملFixed Point Results for Cyclic (α,β)-Admissible Type F-Contractions in Modular Spaces
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for cyclic (α,β)-admissible type F-contraction and F−weak contraction under the setting of modular spaces, where the modular is convex and satisfying the ∆2-condition. Later, we prove some periodic point results for self-mappings on a modular space. We also give some examples to s...
