The survey and expansion on quantitative methods to conflict resolution

摘要

Due to information exchange among the conflict participants, conflict resolution occurs. Either through direct negotiation between the agents or through a third party known as the 'mediator' by Sycara, (1987), Resmerita and Heymann, (2003), conflict resolution can be achieved. Improved robustness and balance in the integrated solution can be provided by using this communication process to resolve conflict. Therefore conflict resolution is a very important procedure required for the coordination of systems made up of intelligent, autonomous, interacting agents. Having learned the spirit of conflict resolution, this research tries to expand the ideas of some quantitative methods to conflict resolution and gives a brief assessment of each method in its theory.
