Decision Support Systems IV - Information and Knowledge Management in Decision Processes : Euro Working Group Conferences, EWG-DSS 2014, Toulouse, France, June 10-13, 2014, and Barcelona, Spain, July 13-18, 2014, Revised Selected and Extended Papers

This Book Contains Extended And Revised Versions Of A Set Of Selected Papers From Two Events Organized By The Euro Working Group On Decision Support Systems (ewg-dss), Which Were Held In Toulouse, France And Barcelona, Spain, In June And July 2014. Overall, 8 Papers Were Accepted For Publication In This Edition After A Rigorous Review Process Through At Least Three Internationally Known Experts From The Ewg-dss Program Committee And External Invited Reviewers. The Selected Papers Focus On Knowledge Management And Sharing, And On Information Models Developed To Support Various Decision Processes. The Contribution Of Knowledge Sharing To Organizational Performance And Decision Making: A Literature Review -- Multicriteria Decision Aid Method For Knowledge Sharing -- A Collaborative Spatial Decision Support System For The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem On A Tabletop Display -- Trust And Understanding In Face-to-face And Online Negotiations -- Discovering Characteristics That Affect Process Control Flow -- Study On Temporal Change Of Social Context: In The Case Of Bicycle Riding Issue In Japan -- Matrix Representation Of A Basic Hierarchical Graph Model For Conflict Resolution -- Timing And Decision Making. Edited By Isabelle Linden, Shaofeng Liu, Fátima Dargam, Jorge E. Hernández.
