Description

Time and space consuming are key factors in a meeting, and therefore must be object of consideration in any process of socialization. So, group decision simulation could be a valuable training tool, through which it will be possible to create and test virtual group decision scenarios. In this work we propose a multi-agent simulator of group decision making that models the participant cortex by considering its emotional states and the exchange of arguments among them.
