SPECIAL ISSUE We are currently negotiating a special issue with a journal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Societies have evolved and many problems faced by individuals can no longer
be solved in solitude. We require others’ cooperation to pursue our own
goals, in the many complex scenarios like politics and businesses, and also
when facing the innumerable tasks in our day to day life. Unfortunately, we
all hold different goals and interests, and conflict emerges as a natural
part of our lives. Successful cooperations require  solving conflicts among
interested parties. The importance of conflict resolution has driven
research in many fields like anthropology, psychology, mathematics,
biology, and lately, in artificial intelligence.Despite their diametrically
different approaches, the goal of these disciplines has always revolved
around either solving conflict or helping us to understand conflicts and
ways to resolve them in a more thorough way. This can be explained not only
from our need to cooperate across the globe, but also from the global
importance of avoiding escalation and, therefore, from striving for a
better society.The focus of this workshop is on theoretical and practical
computational approaches for solving and understanding conflict
resolution.  These computational approaches may be inspired by a wide
variety of disciplines such as the anthropology, psychology, economy,
biology, statistics, mathematics, and computer science itself. Indeed, one
of the goals of this workshop is to allow researchers from different
disciplines to discuss their perspectives on conflict resolution. We
particularly emphasize the role of computational models and applications of
conflict resolution in relation to decision making and action selection.
 Submissions should propose, use or analyze (a) computational model(s) of
conflict resolution in relation to action selection or decision making for:
- resolving conflict between software entities (inter-agent or
intra-agent),- resolving conflict between software entities and humans,-
resolving conflict between humans facilitated by the support of
computational models and tools,- understanding conflict in general (e.g.,
inter-agent, intra-agent, for human or artificial agents).Relevant topics
include, but are not limited to, applications and theoretical approaches,
based on: - Negotiation: automated negotiation and / or negotiation
support- Decision Support Systems- Argumentation- Social sciences approach
to conflict resolutions- Computational models for conflict resolution-
Emotion, Trust, Reputation and its effect on conflict resolution- Data
science and conflict resolution- Social Simulation- Social Choice-
Preference Modeling and Aggregation- Agent/Robot Action Selection- Computer
Supported Cooperative Work- Game Theory & Experimental
