Abstract:
In this work we show the results of a decision making experience conducted through the Social Cognocracy Network. This collaborative social network, developed by the Zaragoza Multicriteria Decision Making Group (GDMZ), is based on the principles that support the cognitive democracy known as e-cognocracy. The network considers three levels of interaction: information, content creation and decision making. E-cognocracy uses two rounds in order to incorporate preferences through an e-voting module and an intermediate round of discussion in which the arguments that support the individual positions and decisions are added by means of a forum. In addition, the forum provides quantitative measures that reflect the reputation of the actors and the relevance of topics and comments. This quantitative information is used to propose a procedure for the identification of the social leaders, the persons whose opinions influence the preferences of others.
