Supporting a Group Member to Make a Group Choice

Published: 16 June 2023 Publication History

Abstract

We often make choices that involve a group of people, such as selecting a movie to watch with friends or choosing a travel destination to visit with the family. Sometimes, a single member of the group may be in charge of making the decision for the group, by playing the role of “organizer”. Although some tools for supporting Group Decision-Making have been proposed, none of them have considered the case where a single group member is autonomously making such a decision, hence entering the preferences of the group members, interacting with the system, and finally selecting a proper recommendation. In this paper, we introduce MyFoodGRS, a web application for a single user to find a proper restaurant for their group, that supports the previously mentioned tasks. We introduce an interaction design to follow the Attribute and Socially-based group decision patterns, and we report the positive result of the conducted system usability evaluation.
