SMC - Multiagent Conflict Resolution Planning
2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics, 2013Co-Authors: Manh Tung Pham, Kiam Tian SeowAbstract:This paper contributes to the multiagent constraint framework for synthesizing correct local plans and coordination strategies for every participating agent, and meeting their local goals without Conflict or blocking. Existing work has focused mainly on developing Conflict Resolution algorithms for various different types of constraint systems. This paper addresses a new but related problem called multiagent Conflict Resolution planning for multiple coordination plans. To resolve all potential Conflicts between multiagent plans, the problem is to be able to efficiently plan and intelligently select an optimal process plan showing the sequential or partial orders of applying Conflict Resolution algorithms. A generic approach to the problem is developed that is applicable to various types of constraint systems. Two new innovations are proposed: (1) A comprehensible network model that shows the relationships between agents and their constraints, and (2) a compact AND/OR graph representation of Conflict Resolution (process) plans. An AND/OR graph plan generation algorithm is proposed and evaluated. The selection of an optimal Conflict Resolution plan over the AND/OR graph representation is discussed. A case study is presented.

Culture & Conflict Resolution
1998Co-Authors: Kevin AvruchAbstract:After years of relative neglect, culture is finally receiving due recognition as a key factor in the evolution and Resolution of Conflicts. Unfortunately, however, when theorists and practitioners of Conflict Resolution speak of ???culture, ??? they often understand and use it in a bewildering and unhelpful variety of ways. With sophistication and lucidity, "Culture and Conflict Resolution" exposes these shortcomings and proposes an alternative conception in which culture is seen as dynamic and derivative of individual experience. The book explores divergent theories of social Conflict and differing strategies that shape the conduct of diplomacy, and examines the role that culture has (and has not) played in Conflict Resolution. The author is as forceful in critiquing those who would dismiss or diminish culture??'s relevance as he is trenchant in advocating Conflict Resolution approaches that make the most productive use of a coherent concept of culture. In a lively style, Avruch challenges both scholars and practitioners not only to develop a clearer understanding of what culture is, but also to take that understanding and incorporate it into more effective Conflict Resolution processes.

Design and analysis of Conflict Resolution algorithms via positive semidefinite programming [aircraft Conflict Resolution]
Proceedings of the 36th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1997Co-Authors: Jae-hyuk Oh, J.m. Shewchun, E. FeronAbstract:Considers the problem of resolving Conflicts involving multiple aircraft. First a framework is formulated where Conflicts may be solved efficiently. Within this framework, the Conflict Resolution problem is shown to be a non-convex, quadratically constrained quadratic program. Cheap lower bounds to this problem are developed based on positive semidefinite relaxations of the dual of this program. A unique method is proposed to systematically determine the regions of the state-space where the Conflict Resolution algorithm is guaranteed to perform well within the proposed framework.

Conflict Resolution Styles Among Latino Couples
Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy, 2006Co-Authors: J. Maria Bermudez, Nenetzin A. Reyes Ms, Karen S. WamplerAbstract:Abstract Conflict Resolution style was examined with 191 married Latino couples residing in Houston and Dallas, representing 21 different nationalities. The purpose of this study was to identify Conflict Resolution styles most predominant among Latino couples and to examine what demographic characteristics might be related to the couples' Conflict Resolution styles. Conflict Resolution style (Avoidant, Volatile, and Validator) measured by Gottman's Marital Conflict Scale (MSC; Gottman, 1994) was significantly related to wives' and husbands' religiosity, husbands' religion, the language in which the husband answered the survey, and wives' education. Contrary to the common perception of Latinos as as being Conflict avoidant, the majority of this sample identified themselves as having a Validating style of Conflict Resolution. Clinical and research implications for couple and family therapists are discussed.
