Collaborative Spatial Decision-Making

چکیده
The central task in practical problem solving is to identify and choose among alterative courses of action. Computer sciencehas failed to provide adequate tools for supporting rational, effective and fair decision-making under the conditions which usuallyprevail. Especially, computer science has yet to develop models of rational decision-making in groups which adequately take intoconsideration resource limitations or conflicts of interest and opinion. This paper provides an informal overview of Zeno, a mediatingsystem for supporting discussion, argumentation and decision-making in groups, which explicitly takes these considerations intoaccount. Also, a new subfield of computer science is proposed, "computational dialectics". whose subject matter is computationalmodels of norms for rational discourse. Zeno is a contribution to this field, based on the thesis that rationality can best be understoodas theory construction regulated by discourse norms. Now is the time to shift our view of computers from communications medium tonegotiation medium, from knowledge processing to interest processing.
