This paper describes a conflict resolution algorithm that can provide automated separation assurance for the next generation air traffic control system. The algorithm generates resolution trajectories that can be sent to the aircraft from a ground-based system via data link. With suitable reconfiguration the algorithm can also be installed on board aircraft to support airborne separation assura...

In order to explore the potential for a human centred design of conflict resolution advisor, or ‘assistant’, a project has been undertaken to elicit from controllers directly their resolution strategies for a number of scenarios. Since this is a European project, it was necessary to consider a number of different countries. Therefore controllers from seven countries were interviewed individuall...

All human dynamics include the potential for conflict. Communication processes have deeply embedded in them all the elements of essential conflict. The acknowledgment of differences across the human community is a recognition that all conflict is normative. In healthcare systems, leaders must recognize this factor as an essential part of the expression of the leadership role. Therefore, underst...

This paper proposes a method for multiple-aircraft conflict avoidance. We assume that aircraft cruise at constant altitude with varying velocities and that conflicts are resolved in the horizontal plane using heading change, velocity change, or a combination thereof. We assume that each aircraft’s position, heading, and velocity are available to all aircraft involved in the conflict, we constra...

Modern Chaff-like SAT solvers enhance plain backtracking (DLL) by Conflict-Driven Learning (CDL), including 1UIP-based Conflict-Directed Backjumping (CDB), Non-Chronological Backtracking (NCB), and 1UIP-based Conflict-Clause Recording (CCR). We show how to add these enhancements step-by-step to plain DLL to derive Chaff’s Conflict-Driven Learning algorithm, separately and independently of BCP, ...

Conflict resolution is one of the most important problems that must be solved in building a collaborative system. In many CSCW (Computer-Supported-Cooperative Work) applications or systems, roles were granted in the design and application of these systems. Consequently, we may infer that “without roles, there would be no collaboration”. Based on the success of RBAC, we found that role-based met...

Sexual conflict is a conflict between the evolutionary interests of individuals of the two sexes. The sexes can have different trait optima but this need not imply conflict if their optima can be attained simultaneously. Conflict requires an interaction between males and females (e.g. mating or parental care), such that the optimal outcomes for each sex cannot be achieved simultaneously. It is ...

This study focuses on family predictors of conflict behavior in adolescent dating relationships, drawing on family systems and socialization perspectives. Mother-adolescent, father-adolescent, and triadic relationships each was examined as predictors of adolescent dating outcomes that hold importance for developmental and prevention science (positive conflict resolution, verbal abuse, and physi...

Conflict resolution is a research topic for game theory (GT) and conflict analysis. A decision support system (DSS) is very helpful for conflict decision making. Reinforcement learning (RL) is an efficient method to learn knowledge by agents themselves. Although successful applications of RL have been reported in single-agent domain, a lot of work should be done in the case of multi-agent domai...
