Minitrack:
Negotiation Support Systems (NSS)
We propose a stronger emphasis on the role of negotiation support
in social networking and inter-organizational systems. We
encourage papers that explore the role of computer-supported
argumentation, reasoning, bargaining and negotiation in Web
platforms, to include:
-
Social networks (such as SNARF (Social Network and
Relationship Finder)
-
NETSCAN (Social network and user activity analysis
of Usenet), ebays, etc.)
-
Cross-border supply chains (e.g., data
harmonization for regional e-commerce and trade facilitation)
-
Business Value-added Networks (e.g.,
industry-specific web portals), and the like.
Focus is on the
use of mobile computing to support a variety of communication and
negotiation processes, to include, conversation building. The novelty here
is to examine research issues related to group-centric real-time
communication involving mobile, location independent devices and the role
of real-time information exchange to facilitate bargaining.
This minitrack will continue to focus on the role of NSS in a Web-centric
platform and with applications in electronic markets, e-auctions and
automated negotiation agents, and in social computing platforms. More
particularly, we would like to look at the role of NSS to support creation
of new business models and strategic formulation, and the impact of
argumentation technologies in multiple-actor, text-driven platforms. We
will also attempt to look into the use of NSS in some emerging
applications, such as Emergency Response Systems, and the like. We seek
papers that explore the use of I.T. to promote new communication channels,
and the impact of NSS under short decision making time.
This minitrack explores research issues related to the design,
implementation, use and evaluation of negotiation support systems in
business. Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to:
-
Negotiation
support in electronic markets (auctions)
-
Communication and
argumentation systems for social networks
-
Negotiation
support system, software agents and web services
-
The role of NSS in
media sharing and conversation building
-
Massively
distributed negotiation
-
Systems to support
intercultural negotiation and emotions
-
Negotiation
systems to support crisis management, emergency response.
