论文摘要
我们研究一个社区希望从替代方案中确定强大支持的建议，以改变现状的环境。我们描述了一个审议过程，在该过程中，代理人围绕着他们比现状的提案动态组成联盟。我们在提案空间以及组建联盟的方式上制定条件，以保证审议成功的审议，也就是说，通过确定最大可能支持的建议来终止。我们的结果为分析审议过程（例如在线系统中进行民主审议支持的过程）提供了理论基础。
We study a setting in which a community wishes to identify a strongly supported proposal from a space of alternatives, in order to change the status quo. We describe a deliberation process in which agents dynamically form coalitions around proposals that they prefer over the status quo. We formulate conditions on the space of proposals and on the ways in which coalitions are formed that guarantee deliberation to succeed, that is, to terminate by identifying a proposal with the largest possible support. Our results provide theoretical foundations for the analysis of deliberative processes such as the ones that take place in online systems for democratic deliberation support.
