Abstract

One of the important problems in decision analysis relates to the situation, where the committee (group of decision makers) has to select the best alternative from a given, finite set. In most cases, the alternatives are evaluated on the basis of several quality factors. In the paper, the authors present the concept of decision support systems in the context of such a decision situation and discuss several issues relating to the computer implementation of group decision support systems. The presented approach is based on the theory of aspiration-led decision making and the satisfactory principle, which ensures proper structuralization of the decision process and allows proper balance of opinion between the group members.
