Decision Follow-Up Support Mechanism Based on Asynchronous Communication

Decision management and decision support systems are themes under investigation for several decades, and both research areas provided contributions for the quality of decision making processes. However, little work has been done in the aerea of decision follow-up, especially regarding decisions made during meetings. In this paper we analyse the concepts related to this problem and we propose a solution based on mechanisms supported by computer to assist the formalization of meeting outcomes, and to provide decision
