Abstract

Decision-making is an essential part of all processes where humans are involved. As the number of parameters to consider increases, the decision-making process becomes more challenging. Food-Energy-Water is one of the fields where decisions not only have substantial impacts on a large number of people; they also have both many parameters and involve a significant number of participants. In this paper, we build a Decision Support System and integrate a trust management framework to measure trust among stakeholders to help consensus in decision-making. Our results show that when stakeholders acknowledge trust, and they act considering their trust, consensus can be reached using less effort, that is a lower number of rounds in decision making. Also, we showed that acting based on trust helps stakeholders to change their behavior positively in long-term.
