SPECIAL ISSUE

The selected best papers will be invited for a special issue in the Journal
of Group Decision and Negotiation (JCR Impact Factor 2014: 2.120, SJR Q1
for Management of Technology and Innovation, and Decision Sciences).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 cooperation requires 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 Economics
