A group decision system is being built over a network, which has inherent delays due to network lag. Suggest the longest acceptable amount of time the delay could last without affecting the user negatively. Provide an argument for the time you selected. Voting on serious issues.
What will be an ideal response?
The system can gather votes asynchronously, as they arrive. A short delay would be tolerable as the vote is entered and submitted. The voting results would need to be tabulated and broadcast synchronously. Otherwise, results would vary due to the time delay which may prove frustrating if not chaotic.
