“…As any plan, the model for a GDP may be hierarchically decomposed in sub-plans at different levels of abstraction. This conceptual structure of a GDP model is acknowledged in any application domain of the GDSS technology, such as project management [28], user requirement elicitation [29], crisis response management [30], scenario design [31], risk identification [32], etc.…”

Abstract:The paper highlights the computational power of swarming models (i.e., stigmergic mechanisms) to build collaborative support systems for complex cognitive tasks such as facilitation of group decision processes (GDP) in e-meetings. Unlike traditional approaches that minimize the cognitive complexity by incorporating the facilitation knowledge into the system, stigmergic coordination mechanisms minimize the complexity by providing the system with emergent functionalities that are shaped by the environment itself through the possibility to structure it in terms of high-level cognitive artefacts. This is illustrated by conducting a socio-simulation experiment for an envisioned collaborative software tool that acts as a stigmergic environment for modelling the GDP. The results show superior results when the users are allowed to increase the representational complexity of a GDP model with cognitive artefacts that support guidance and action in the conceptual problem space.

“…In earlier research Den Hengst et al [4] found that Group Support Systems (GSS) can be used to design a repeatable process for user requirements elicitation. Group Support Systems (GSS) are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of meetings by offering a variety of tools to assist the group in the structuring of activities, generating ideas, and improving group communications [5].…”

“…Prior experience has shown that three hours is a suitable length for these kinds of sessions [8]. Den Hengst et al [4] calculated that this user-requirements-elicitation GSS session takes about 3.5 hours based on a group size of fifteen participants. With more or less participants, the time schedule should be adapted.…”

Abstract-The advances in mobile technology, such as ultra wideband (UWB), enable the usage of advanced applications in the process industry. The main challenge in the first phase of designing UWB networks and applications is getting to know what the potential customer, e.g. process industry, wants. In this paper we present how to apply a user requirements elicitation process to get information about the expectation from the process industry regarding wireless networks and more specifically ultra wideband. This paper describes the design process of the balanced decisions that have to be made regarding applications as demanded by the process industry, and the technology as offered by the ICT industry. The outcome of this feasibility study leads to the decision for going on with the next step, i.e. the design and implementation of UWB applications in an industrial plant.Index Terms-process industry, ultra wideband applications, user requirements, wireless networks.
