Distributed decision processing system

A system for distributed decision processing comprising:

• a server coupled to a data network, the server receiving a set of alternative choices and a set of criteria by which the set of alternative choices may be evaluated;
• a first set of client devices coupled to the data network, the first set of client devices transmitting to the server via the data network a set of weights provided by a first set of individuals, each weight indicating importance of a corresponding criterion from the set of criteria;
• a second set of client devices coupled to the data network, the second set of client devices transmitting to the server via the data network a set of evaluations provided by a second set of individuals, each evaluation corresponding to possible attributes of a corresponding criteria;
• wherein the server provides a relative analysis of the alternative choices based on the set of evaluations and the set of weights.

A system for distributed decision processing comprising:

• data processing means, coupled to a data network, the data processing means for receiving a set of alternative choices and a set of criteria by which the set of alternative choices may be evaluated;
• a first set of interface means, coupled to the data network, the first set of interface means for transmitting to the data processing means via the data network a set of weights provided by a first set of individuals, each weight indicating importance of a corresponding criterion from the set of criteria;
• a second set of interface means coupled to the data network, the second set of interface means for transmitting to the data processing means via the data network a set of evaluations provided by a second set of individuals, each evaluation corresponding to possible attributes of a corresponding criteria;
• means, coupled to the data processing means, for providing a relative analysis of the alternative choices based on the set of evaluations and the set of weights.
