Abstract
The following text summarizes the technical basis for the DECIDE system (DECision support In Distributed Environments). DECIDE is an agent-based approach to support a group of experts in order to find a common evaluation for several assessment objects. The approach is based on a legacy system designed for the modelling and processing of assessment tasks. The experts within the DECIDE framework might be human or computer, with different types of assessment criteria. Different types of conflicts between the experts may be resolved through mediated negotiation. Different problem-solving methods are defined within task/method-slots with dear interfaces. The chapter presents the main aspects of our approach focussing on the communication, the negotiation, and the solution of weak and hard conflicts.
