Distributed decision processing system for multiple participants having different roles

摘要

A method and system for collaborative decision making based on the identification of certain individuals involved. A computer system receives via a data network alternative choices, criteria by which the set of alternative choices may be evaluated, a set of weights indicating importance of criteria and evaluations corresponding to possible attributes of criteria. A relative analysis of the alternative choices is provided based on the set of evaluations, the set of weights and the identification of the individuals. Identifiers are used to distinguish assessors, and the assessments of assessors are treated differently depending on the identifier.
