Architectural requirements for integrating group decision support systems into the daily managerial experience

The authors develop system requirements for ongoing temporally and geographically distributed decision-making. They concentrate on the setting called the local area decision network (LADN), which is characterized as having geographically distributed decision group members working at their own convenience, using familiar support aids, and proceeding at their own pace. Specifically, the technical, decision modeling, and machine-induced group communication features are outlined.<>
