Abstract
This paper describes a discussion process model with knowledge of dependencies, and a trial experiment using computer simulation. The model assumes virtual world, and the target system could be specified by multiple issues and evaluated by dependencies among issues. In this model, each agent who has various domain knowledge about issue dependencies discusses issues based on its domain knowledge, including shared issues. We tried an initial experiment using a computer simulation to evaluate the behavior of the model, and had some results that could show some similarity with real discussion processes.
