Decision Making Constructs in a Distributed Environment (DCODE)

Abstract

Background/Problem: Many military decision making environments consist of: Distributed participants (time/place); Participants that have both shared (public) and uniquely held decision-relevant information; Research (Stasser et al) indicates that uniquely held information is often not exchanged between the participants (emphasis is on the public information); Result is that decisions are based on missing and partial information; Particularly serious in "hidden profile" situations. DCODE Objectives: Stasser's work is based on traditional face-to-face meeting situations. Determine if the results are the same for decision making in a time/place asynchronous collaborative environment? In a computer-based, on-line distributive decision making task, develop procedures and technologies that enhance the exchange of decision-relevant uniquely held information. Have group decision makers reach "Collective Intelligence", i.e. all relevant, uniquely held information is moved into the shared, public domain.
