Resolution of conflicts across services in smart cities is an important yet challenging problem. We present CityResolver – a decision support system for conflict resolution in smart cities. CityResolver uses an Integer Linear Programming based method to generate a small set of resolution options, and a Signal Temporal Logic based verification approach to compute these resolution options’ impact...

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...

In this study a conflict resolution technique based on danger and concession considerations is presented for free flight paradigm. A danger function which assigns a danger value for the conflict situation, and a concession function which assigns a concession value for the path followed by the aircraft are constructed. The danger and concession values are input to a fuzzy decision module. This m...

Selecting a suitable conflict resolution strategy when conflicts appear in multi-agent environments is a hard problem. There is a need to develop a method that can select a suitable strategy which guaranties low cost in terms of the number of messages and time ticks. This paper focuses on conflicts over agents’ individual opinion and decision making by taking into account an agent’s features su...

In this paper, we propose Conflict Manager to resolve conflicts for context-aware applications in smart home environments. Conflicts arise when multiple users access an application or when various applications share limited resources to provide services. In order to resolve conflicts among users, the Conflict Manager assigns priority to each user so that the user with the highest priority can b...

<em>The Tigray War is an ongoing civil conflict that started on November 3, 2020, in Ethiopia's Region. The idea was first up June 2005 by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which said "normal procedures of settlement may possibly meet criteria for justice." By fusing well-established processes with local knowledge, this proclamation launches efforts international legal community to ...
