SCOPE

Conflict is an omnipresent phenomenon in human society. It spans from daily situations
like discussing a holiday plan with friends to complex scenarios like politics and
business, and even into the realm of the individual such as when deciding what to do next
(sleep, eat, work, play). Several disciplines like the social sciences, psychology,
economy and biology have studied the nature of conflict, its consequences, and strategies
to successfully deal with it.

Conflict is a situation in which two or more entities, each with their own set of
preferences, prefer based on that set of preferences a different non-compatible action.
An example is a behaviour based robot trying to select actions based on different drives
such as eating versus sleeping. In this case, hunger and fatigue are two drives each with
their own set of action preferences, and each of the drives can prefer based on its set
of preferences a different action. Another example is two parties that need to negotiate
a service level agreement, each with their own set of preferences for different service
elements. Also, in this case these sets of preferences can result in a conflict about
which action (bid) has the highest value and should thus be chosen. Conflict is a
critical aspect when viewed in light of decision making and action selection, as the
result of a conflict eventually surfaces as an action selection problem. Namely, actions
are valued differently for different entities and selecting an action will therefore
favor one but not another entity. In principle this is not a direct problem for decision
making, unless it is important to eventually keep both entities “happy”, in which case
conflict resolution becomes important.

In this workshop we focus on computational approaches, theoretical, but specially
practical, aimed towards solving conflict. These computational approaches may be inspired
by a wide variety of disciplines such as the social sciences, psychology, economy,
biology, and computer science itself. In fact, one of the goals of this workshop is
allowing researchers from different disciplines to discuss about 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.
More specifically, 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)

Topics that could be relevant for the workshop include specially applications, but also
theoretical approaches, based on:

- Automated Negotiation
- Argumentation
- Social Choice
- Auctions and Combinatorial Auctions - Market Mechanisms
- Coalition & Team Formation
- Teamwork Models and Distributed Coordination
- Negotiation Support Systems and Decision Support Systems - Preference Modeling and
Aggregation
- Conflict Resolution in Multi-agent Planning
- Agent/Robot Action Selection
- Emotion, Trust, and Coping in conflict and preferences
