Abstract

As more and more sophisticated artificial decision-making tools are developed, we see a natural progression from something a human may use, to engaging with virtual partners collaboratively. In this paper we define a computer game architecture that enables engagement of human and virtual partners in collaborative decision-making processes. The architecture of such a computer game is then demonstrated by engaging human and virtual partners in a Tender Assessment process.
