This paper describes an agent-based approach for developing a location-based asynchronous group decision-support system for
mobile teams. The approach maximises the use of reusable service components (GSCmas — generic service component for
multi-agent systems) as the main interaction mechanism between agents to allow flexible support of a new group-decision
process. The paper describes the architecture of a GSCmas and provides details of how the GSCmas is integrated within a decision
support system. Finally a system (mPower) based on the proposed approach is introduced and applied to a location-based group
decision problem
