Description: Distributed Decision Making is a process in which a group of participants, who may be geographically dispersed, collaborates to reach a consensus on a specific decision. This approach is based on the premise that collaboration and active participation from multiple stakeholders can lead to more informed and balanced decisions. Often, this process is facilitated by consensus algorithms, which are mathematical and computational methods designed to ensure that all participants reach an agreement, even in the presence of failures or disagreements. The main characteristics of Distributed Decision Making include transparency, fairness, and resilience, allowing the system to function effectively despite the diversity of opinions and the possibility of errors. This approach is particularly relevant in environments where trust among participants is limited or where centralization of power could lead to biased decisions. Today, Distributed Decision Making is applied in various areas, from governance in distributed systems to shared resource management, highlighting its importance in creating more democratic and participatory systems.
