Abstract
Evolutionary Systems Design (ESD) is a modeling framework for such task-oriented group processes as group decision making, planning, policy making, and negotiation. To support these processes, a meeting script based on ESD is developed for MeetingWorks™, a general purpose group support system (GSS).
