Abstract
Group decision support systems are developed to support a group engaged in decision-making process. These decision-making processes can also be seen from a multicriteria perspective. We present in this chapter group support system called GRoUp Support (GRUS) based on a multicriteria paradigm. The GRUS system has been tested and used in several contexts. Some experiments are conducted in a European project called RUC-APS and some other in a French national project called VGI4Bio, and finally we conducted some experiments in three different countries with Master and PhD students.
