A Framework of Meta-Synthesis Consensus Support System for Group Decision-Making Problems

A meta-synthesis methodology based framework model was provided in this article to support the group decision-making process including steps of problem discussion process and consensus process. This model is composed of dual-scaling method based visualized group argumentation environment to support diverging form of thought and fuzzy preference relation based visualized consensus assessment environment. This study will provide a suitable environmental support to deeply analyze and effectively enhance the consensus during complicated problem solving procedures.
