CoNeX COORDINATION AND NEGOTIATION SUPPORT FOR EXPERT TEAMS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current technologies for group decision support only rarely account for the qualitative mechanisms underlying problem solving processes of multiple persons, i.e. on-going task negotiations, debates of contradictory issues, alterations of commitment-based contracts, e.g., redefining tasks due to resource allocation constraints or dynamic changes in the project environment. The CoNeX system* (COoperation and NEgotiation among eXperts) currently under development is particularly dedicated to integrate these qualitative aspects of group work [HJ88]. The application scenario considers the problem solving activities of physically distributed experts in the field of information system design, development, and maintenance under the perspective of software project management [DAIDA88].

متن کاملCoordination Without Negotiation in Teams of Heterogeneous Robots
A key feature of human cooperation is that we can coordinate well without communication or negotiation. We achieve this by anticipating the intentions and actions of others, and adapting our own actions to them accordingly. In contrast, most multi-robot systems rely on extensive communication to exchange their intentions. This paper describes the joint approach of our two research groups to ena...

Realizing the dynamic nature of information flow and the conflicting objectives of members play vital role in effective design of e-Supply Networks (e-SN). While there are some research in the SN literature proposing different dynamic and intelligent coordination mechanisms, the impact of the proper definition of data structure and long-term relationship in modeling both coordination and negoti...
متن کاملCIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING Compensatory Negotiation for Agent-Based Project Schedule Coordination
Practitioners have tried to solve a project schedule coordination problem involving many subcontractors with a centralized approach, but failed to provide a cohesive solution. They have overlooked a principle that general contractors cannot coordinate subcontractors like they do their own forces. The project schedule coordination problem could be solved better by subcontractors in a distributed...
