Intercultural group decision and negotiation with ESD and computer support

Intercultural group decision and negotiation processes involve interaction of two or more cultures. Such processes may be formally modeled using the evolutionary systems design (ESD) framework. Using ESD, players in a multicultural group can be computer supported in generating and formally representing an evolving common joint culture (a situational culture) with regard to the problem at hand-an intercultural evolving group problem representation. This formal modeling and computer support based on ESD are discussed, as well as informal aspects of supporting intercultural group decision and negotiation processes.
