In the context of business negotiation, negotiation is both a science and skill; in terms skill, implies certain behaviours, skills, abilities experiences, while knowledge on considered useful tool that facilitates process implementation; must be applied (used) as often possible order to, due to at times highly competitive differences concept shape it process, which gap between theory practice ...

In this article we investigate the effects of negotiator trust and mediation on negotiating behavior perceptions. We conduct three experiments in sequence with each succeeding study building results prior study. All used same simulated dispute between a bar owner customers. first experiment found that negotiators who trusted owner’s integrity moved further an acceptable offer scale than those d...

Given m distributed data streams A1, . . . ,Am, we consider the problem of estimating the number of uniqueidentifiers in streams defined by set expressions over A1, . . . ,Am. We identify a broad class of algorithms for solvingthis problem, and show that the estimators output by any algorithm in this class are perfectly unbiased and satisfystrong variance bounds. Our ana...

We improve several upper bounds to the complexity of the membership problem for languages deened by iterated morphisms (D0L systems). The complexity bounds are expressed in terms of DLOGT IME-uniform circuit families. We prove: 1) For polynomially growing D0L systems the membership problem is contained in AC 0. 2) For arbitrary D0L systems the membership problem is contained in NC 1. 3) The lat...

An arithmetic formula is an expression involving only the constant 1, and the binary operations of addition and multiplication, with multiplication by 1 not allowed. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of arithmetic formulas evaluating to n as n goes to infinity, solving a conjecture of E. K. Gnang and D. Zeilberger [5]. We give also an asymptotic formula for the number of arithmetic...

A method for blind estimation of DET curves for speaker verification systems is proposed. Verification error probabilities are estimated on a database where speaker identities are unknown. The database must provide a set of impostor-only tests as well as a set of mixed impostor and target tests. This method is tested on 9 speaker verification systems that were scored on the NIST 2000 database. ...
