Using fuzzy sets to analyse personal preferences on groupware tools

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance that model, using fuzzy reasoning, to find a set of rules that tell us which groupware tools are more suitable according to stakeholders classification.
