Integrating information across sections and between groups in group decision support systems

The authors elaborate on the opportunities for integration of relevant information across sessions and between groups by the effective application of GDSS (group decision support systems). The construction of a GDSS database is presented. Aspects of the system described include real-time analysis of group activity and the use of a data browsing system to ease the viewing of external information and/or previous meeting information during a GDSS meeting.<<ETX>>
