Abstract

We present an extension of a consensus reaching support system presented in our previous works to additionally accommodate a multi-criteria evaluation of options and importance weights of all criteria given by each agent (individual). The multi-criteria setting implies a need for some modification of concepts, tools and techniques proposed in our previous works with a single criterion. To improve the efficiency of the process we use some additional suggestions/hints provided for the moderator in the form of linguistic summaries, modified to the multi-criteria setting. We present an application for a real world problem which involves reaching of a sufficient agreement in the small group of human agents. The results obtained are intuitively appealing, and promising in terms of time and costs of opinion changes to reach a sufficient consensus.
