Modeling of Mixed Decision Making Process

TL;DR

This paper introduces a formal model for mixed decision making processes that integrate individual, collective, and hybrid modes, utilizing UML-G for explicit process representation, to enhance organizational decision efficiency.

Contribution

It presents a novel formal description of multimodal decision making, combining knowledge management and collaboration, with a UML-G based process model.

Findings

Formal description of MDM process

UML-G profile application for process modeling

Enhanced understanding of mixed decision modes

Abstract

Decision making whenever and wherever it is happened is key to organizations success. In order to make correct decision, individuals, teams and organizations need both knowledge management (to manage content) and collaboration (to manage group processes) to make that more effective and efficient. In this paper, we explain the knowledge management and collaboration convergence. Then, we propose a formal description of mixed and multimodal decision making (MDM) process where decision may be made by three possible modes: individual, collective or hybrid. Finally, we explicit the MDM process based on UML-G profile.
