Abstract
Consensus formation models are useful for obtaining harmonious consensus in a group when all group members pursue their individual preferences. In the process of consensus formation, each agent accepts macro-information and adapts its preference to the overall group preference. Flexible Interpretive Structural Modeling (FISM) is a method for developing structural models of complex systems. In this paper, we propose consensus formation models based on FISM and analyze some quantitative measures of the difference between individual preferences and the agreed preference.
