Conflict Analysis

  • Chapter
Rough Set Methods and Applications

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 56))

Abstract

Computer support for different human activities has grown up in the latest years. Actually the researchers in Artificial Intelligence benefit from this fact in many fields not considered some years ago. Conflict analysis is one of the fields whose importance is increasing nowadays as distributed systems of computers are starting to play a significant role in the society. The computer aided conflict analysis must be applied when intelligent machines (agents) interact. However this is only one from many different areas where a conflict can arise like business, government, political or military operations, labour-management negotiations etc.etc.
