In this paper, an approach of conflict classification and detection is proposed in a domain independent framework for conflict management, and deployed in Sensible Agent Architectures. Sensible agents are agents that operate in a multi-agent based system with the ability to dynamically adapt their level of autonomy. Conflicts are classified as goal, plan and belief conflicts. It is shown that s...

An application-oriented analysis of data semantic challenges is presented. The analysis serves as a basis for developing a framework for effectively managing such challenges. The paper focuses on financial information providers as representative cases. A model representing relationships between attributes is proposed and is used for presenting and discussing certain semantic conflicts and their...

Conflict analysis and resolution play an important role in business, governmental, political and lawsuit disputes, labor-management negotiations, military operations and others. Many mathematical models of conflict situations have been proposed and investigated. In this paper a novel approach to conflict analysis, based on rough set theory , is outlined. Basic concepts of this approach are defi...

Study of conflicts is of greatest importance both practically and theoretically. Conflict analysis and resolution play an important role in business, governmental, political and lawsuits disputes, labor-management negotiations, military operations and others. Many formal models of conflict situations have been proposed and studied. In this paper we outline a new approach to conflict analysis, w...

Adaptive management planning projects use multiparty, multidisciplinary workshops and simulation modeling to facilitate dialogue, negotiation, and planning. However, they have been criticized as a poor medium for conflict resolution. Alternative processes from the conflict resolution tradition, e.g., principled negotiation and sequenced negotiation, address uncertainty and biophysical constrain...

The authors conducted a study for the sample size of 75 HR managers from an Indian IT company through systematic sampling method. This study identifies that the female employees are facing lesser conflict than the male employees against their managers within the organization. There is a positive correlation between gender and conflict management with the superior towards the work. There is a si...

Conservation conflicts are increasing and need to be managed to minimise negative impacts on biodiversity, human livelihoods, and human well-being. Here, we explore strategies and case studies that highlight the long-term, dynamic nature of conflicts and the challenges to their management. Conflict management requires parties to recognise problems as shared ones, and engage with clear goals, a ...

The Surface Operations Simulator and Scheduler (SOSS) is a fast-time simulation of the airport surface used to rapidly develop and test new surface scheduling concepts. Gate conflicts present a challenge for surface scheduling. A late departure pushback or early arrival sharing the same gate can cause a gate conflict, which if left unmanaged, can lead to surface gridlock. Surface scheduling con...

Disputes and conflicts are common in construction projects. Researchers have studied five different styles to handling conflicts: integrating, obliging, dominating, avoiding, and compromising. However, negotiating with different conflict management style may result in quite different outcomes. Some people seem to be very considerate, but do not really honor the promise. However, some individual...
