MusIcFX: An Arbiter of Group Preferences
TLDR
The MtJsIcFX system as discussed by the authors is a system that responds to the presence of a group of people in a shared environment by using a Group Preference Agent to select music that will best accommodate the musical preferences of that group.Abstract:
Much of the research into intelligent environments has focused on how an environment might sense and respond to the presence and/or actions of a single individual in that environment. MtJsIcFX is a system that responds to the presence of a group of people in a shared environment by using a Group Preference Agent to select music that will best accommodate the musical preferences of that group.read more

A group recommender for movies based on content similarity and popularity
Maria Soledad Pera,Yiu-Kai Ng +1 more
TL;DR: GroupReM is introduced which makes movie recommendations appealing to members of a group by employing a merging strategy to explore individual group members' interests in movies and creating a profile that reflects the preferences of the group on movies, and using word-correlation factors to find movies similar in content.

Method and Apparatus for Determining a Group Preference in a Social Network
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for automatically determining a group preference in a social network from multiple individual preferences of members of the social network is presented, using a combination of an individual's importance to a network and a social networks importance to the individual as weighting factors when combining individual preferences to generate a shared set of preferences.

Building brains for rooms: designing distributed software agents
TL;DR: It is argued that complex, embedded software agent systems are best constructed with parallel, layered architectures that resemble Minskian Societies of Mind and Brooksian subsumption controllers for robots, and they demonstrate that complex behaviors can be had via the aggregates of relatively simple interacting agents.
