✦ Synopsis


Based on evolutionary systems design (ESD), group decision and negotiation support in evolving, nonshared information contexts is discussed. A nonshared information context-one without full information sharing-is associated with what has been loosely called a 'noncooperative' context in the group decision and negotiation support systems (GDNSS) literature. Without full information sharing, we have a game with incomplete information that, in general, is evolving. The paper discusses how the GDNSS, MEDIATOR, supports evolution of the group problem representation-a process of consensus seeking (through information sharing, here partial) subject to problem adaptation and restructuring within which compromise is possible.
