Abstract
The constant evolution of cities has driven the development of new tools for society. Applications inspired by operational research techniques, which aid decision making, can make viable dreams already dreamed up by philosophers. Among these, we highlight more participatory, legitimate, and reliable judicial and legislative systems. In this context, a multicriteria analysis seems necessary, balancing the different versions, beliefs, cultures, and consequent weights and measures desired by each citizen. In this paper, we present a new model for judicial/legislative processes in digital cities. The system proposes the use of sets of solutions, obtained from different weights adopted according to personal characteristics of those involved in the voting process. From a simple case of study, we highlight the possibilities, flexibility, and potential of the proposed system. The proposed framework shows up as promising tool for assisting decision making in other similar voting scenarios.
