In a previous work, we proposed an evolutionary computation system designed to solve group decision making multiobjective problems for human groups, which is equivalent to obtaining consensus solutions to multiobjective optimization problems. Multi-human-agent-based evolutionary computation (Mhab-EC) is a primary component of the system, used to obtain converged solutions for multiobjective optimization problems. The other main component is a mechanism that allows owners of simulated human agents to review simulation results thus far and adjust their agents accordingly between successive simulation runs of the Mhab-EC. However, in our previous study, we simply conducted simulations to demonstrate that a single run yielded converged solutions. Consensus solutions were assumed to be obtained through iterations of the Mhab-EC run and agent adjustment. Therefore, in this study, we conducted simulations of the entire system, including the agent adjustment mechanism. For this purpose, we implemented a simple model of agent adjustment by owners to facilitate solution convergence. Simulation results showed that the system indeed yielded converged solutions, which are considered to indicate consensus.
