Abstract
This paper presents an interaction model to support groups making decisions, aiming to Engage the group in the interaction, Empower all users to put forth their opinion, and Encourage the group to discuss the options. Based on the tabletop application MTEatsplore, we show how the interaction model helps to design a system to structure the decision making process and thus can lead to an effective and efficient yet inclusive support for mundane decisions.
