*GDN 2012 Call for Papers*

*GDN 2012 | An International Meeting on Group Decision and Negotiation*

Recife, Brazil, 20 - 24 May, 2012

http://www.cdsid.org.br/gdn2012

*November 03, 2011*- Deadline for submitting Session proposals

*November 15, 2011*- Deadline for submitting extended abstracts and full papers

*Aim and Scope * Group decision and negotiation focuses on complex and self-organizing processes that constitute multiparticipant, multicriteria, ill-structured, dynamic, and often evolutionary problems. Major approaches include: (1) applied game theory, experiment and social choice, (2) cognitive and behavioral sciences as applied to group decision and negotiation, (3) conflict analysis and resolution (4) software, specifically group decision support systems (GDSS) and negotiation support systems (GDNSS), (5) artificial intelligence, and (6) management science as related to group decision-making. Many research initiatives combine two or more of these fields.

Areas of application include, among others, intraorganizational coordination (as in operations management and integrated design, production, finance, marketing and distribution, including coordination of all phases of the product life cycle), computer supported collaborative work and meetings, computer-supported negotiations including internet-supported negotiations and negotiating agents, labor-management negotiations, interorganizational negotiations (including negotiations among businesses, governments, nonprofit organizations, and joint ventures), intercultural negotiations, environmental negotiations, etc.

We invite submissions that present Group Decision & Negotiation research focusing on the development, application and evaluation of concepts, theories, methods and techniques. We are interested in studies in real organizational settings and laboratory situations using a variety of research approaches.

*Special Issue of Group Decision and Negotiation journal* There will be a Special Issue of the journal Group Decision and Negotiation containing the best papers presented at the GDN 2012 conference. When they are reviewed for the GDN 2012 Proceedings, papers (extended abstracts and full papers) will be assessed for potential to contribute to this Special Issue. Authors of the papers identified will be invited to make a submission to the Special Issue, using recommendations from the review process and feedback from the presentation to improve and further develop their paper. Papers appearing in the Special Issue must contain significant new material beyond what is in the GDN 2012 Proceedings.
