This paper presents a two-level framework to support inter-organizational negotiation. At the first level, we view a group problem as a resource allocation problem among involved parties, and negotiation as the members' act to protect, or better yet, to gain additional resources for them- selves. To support negotiation, we propose an action-resource model to represent negotiation problems, and an argumentation language to support negotiation processes. At the second level, we propose a formal language to help each party explore scenarios. This paper is an extension of a previous work that focuses on defining a formal language for argumentation. In particular, it describes a language for managing scenarios. The proposed scenario management is illustrated by an actual negotiation - the softwood lumber negotiation between Canada and the United States.
