Distance-based rules for weighted judgment aggregation

Cooperating agents need to reach group decisions on several logically related issues. These decision-making problems are studied in social choice theory by the discipline of judgment aggregation. Judgment aggregation produces group decisions by aggregating individual answers to binary questions, however existing aggregation rules are defined for a very restricted setting, insufficient for aggregating opinions in a computer science contexts. We propose a family of distance-based judgment aggregation rules and study their properties.
