An extension of CHOICLA User Interfaces for Configurable Products

Configuration technologies are usually employed in closed settings where only single users (or small group of users) configure the corresponding products. However, in reality, there are many situations in which products need to be configured jointly by groups with many users. CHOICLA is a group decision making environment supporting decision scenarios in a domain-independent fashion. The current version of CHOICLA solely offers decisions for groups on non-configurable alternatives. In this paper, we propose the extension of CHOICLA’s user interfaces supporting group-based configuration processes for complex products.
