Nowadays, companies are faced with an increasingly higher level of competition while trying to adapt to the exigencies imposed by the Industry 4.0, regarding its usually referred dimensions and pillars, among which one that although is not so often referred is also expressing an increasing visibility and importance, related to collaboration, and more specifically to collaborative decision making and co-working. Thus, in this paper an analysis is carried out regarding the evolution of publications that have been put available over the last decade about collaborative decision making approaches, varying from approaches based on mathematical models up to the application of artificial intelligence and other kind of approaches. Moreover, a discussion about the relation between collaborative decision making, concurrent engineering and Industry 4.0 dimensions is also done.

One of the trends in the decision-making field in the past 20 years has been the migration from individual decision-making to collective one. Several changes of working conditions influenced this trend: geographical dispersion due to the business internationalisation, concurrent work in order to satisfy time delays, facilitation of the information sharing induced by the development of local area networks (LAN), and internet. This study examines the discrepancies and analogies in addressing the collaborative decision making in two scientific fields: artificial intelligence and engineering design. These two fields have different considerations and approaches in view to the decision-making support. This paper exposes a comparative study concerning two research studies, both decision support oriented: the first one concerns the collaborative decision-making in early design stages in vehicle development projects (Jankovic, Bocquet, Stal Le Cardinal, & Bavoux, 2006) and the second one concerns the development of an architecture of a Cooperative decision Support Systems (CDSS) (Zaraté, 2005).

This chapter presents deliberation dialogue as a framework for argumentation used in group decision-making. Drawing on and summarizing the previous literature in argumentation and artificial intelligence (AI), the chapter: (1) outlines the characteristics of deliberation as a type of dialogue; (2) distinguishes between deliberation dialogue and other types of dialogue it is closely related to and often confused with; (3) refines the existing models of deliberation to make them more useful for supporting reasoning communities engaged in collaborative decision making; (4) provides a worked example to show what the stages and characteristics of a deliberation dialogue are, and show how methods from AI and argumentation can be applied to analyzing it; and (5) outlines some further areas for research on deliberation that are currently being studied.
