Abstract

Electronic Meeting Systems (EMS) facilitate group meetings by providing automated support for communicating, decison-making, and consensus-building. This paper presents an approach for building EMS through a quantitative description of two well-known approaches: Electronic Brainstorming and the Nominal Group Technique. A DEVS-Scheme simulation of these two tools provides an additional conceptual foundation for the construction of EMS tools.
