Abstract

We report on the development of formal models of alternative dispute resolution processes, the creation of an online dispute resolution system based on this model and initial experimental analysis of this system. Early results suggest that formalizing the negotiation process definition indeed leads to clearer understandings and a greater chance for effective automation.
