IMPORTANT DATES: =============== October 17, 2008: Paper Submissions Due November 3, 2008: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection November 21, 2008: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers December 8 - 9, 2008: Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation December 10, 2008: Inaugural Lecture Catholijn Jonkers
PUBLICATION: ============= We are pleased to solicit original and unpublished papers for publication and presentation in the Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation (http://mmi.tudelft.nl/hucom08). Articles describing novel ideas and applications in all areas related to human factors and computational models in negotiation are of interest. We also invite submissions of statements of interests or position papers.
A selection of accepted papers will be considered for publication in the Group Decision and Negotiation Journal.
AIMS AND SCOPE ============== Negotiation is a complex and sometimes emotional decision-making process aiming to reach an agreement to exchange goods or services. Although a daily activity, extensive research has shown that few people are effective negotiators. Current state of the art negotiation support systems can help make a significant improvement in negotiation performance. In particular, when the negotiation space is well-understood such systems can make a difference, partly because machines can much better deal with the computational complexity involved. However, the negotiation space can only be properly developed if the human parties jointly explore their interests. The inherent semantic problem and the emotional issues involved make that negotiation cannot be handled by artificial intelligence alone, and a human-machine collaborative system is required. Such systems are not only to support humans in providing strategic advice but also in coping with emotions and moods in human-human interactio! ns.
In order to develop human-machine collaborative negotiation support systems there is a need for the development of computational models, frameworks, and experimental, user-centred and ergonomic methods that enable the engineering of negotiation support systems. It is important for this purpose to study the role of human factors in negotiation as well as computational models to enable intelligent support for negotiation. To develop the next generation of negotiation support systems there are still many, diverse challenges: models of (qualitative, incomplete) preferences, preference change and strategies, preference elicitation, assessment methods for negotiation performance, learning and adaptativeness in negotiation, models of emotion and user awareness, the use and creation of domain knowledge, user interfaces for negotiation support, human-supported assessment of opponent, conflict handling styles, experimental methods.
Topics covered include but are not limited to: � Negotiation strategies (bidding, acceptance) � Argumentation for negotiation � Negotiation interaction � Learning in negotiation � Negotiation domain knowledge � Case studies � Preference elicitation � Qualitative preferences � Incomplete preferences � Ontologies for negotiation (protocols, preferences, domain knowledge) � Negotiation Support Systems � User interfaces for Negotiation Support Systems � Human-machine negotiation � Negotiation, conflict handling, and experiments related to e.g. consensus building � Personality in negotiation (e.g. Big Five) � Emotions in negotiation � Cultural factors in negotiation � Negotiation bidding advice � Negotiation conflict styles � Trust in automatically generated negotiation advice � Negotiation applications � E-commerce � Methods and tools for negotiation tasks � Design and Evaluation of support systems � Conflict handling styles and consensus building � HCI aspects and human factors of negotiation
PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be considered. All papers should represent original and previously unpublished work that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed by at least three referees. Submit your paper electronically in either PDF or postscript format. Papers should not be more than 15 pages.
Submission is entirely automated by a paper management tool, which is available from the main web site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hucom08. Authors must first register their own account by obtaining a password, and then follow the instructions.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
