Recently-developed methodologies and techniques that can help analysts understand strategic conflicts and provide strategic support to negotiators have been of great benefit to decision makers. New theoretical issues are now being explored, and at the same time new software systems are making modeling easier and analytical results clearer. Both theoretical and practical approaches have been used to study strategic conflicts in diverse areas including environmental management, global warming, energy, the food crisis, economic disparities, international trade and aging infrastructure. The main objective of the Stream on Conflict Resolution is to provide a forum for discussion of recent advances in the development of formal conflict resolution techniques and their insightful application across a range of domains.

The latter is fundamental for providing the groups with reliable decision support throughout the entire negotiation or group decision making process. However, many factors, such as cognitive issues, formal knowledge, and DM skills, may influence the actual use of scoring systems. Therefore, there is a constant need for redesigning the existing methods and designing new ones that allow for accurate preference modeling and elicitation for group decision and negotiation (GDN) process in a particular decision making context, given the DMs\u2019 limitations regarding information processing and all formal and behavioral issues involved.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\">The main goal of this stream is to create a forum for scientists, researchers, and practitioners working on the topic of preference modeling for GDN that will allow them to exchange their experience and knowledge and discuss the recent developments and results of their research.

As a result, intelligent group decision making that uses techniques of machine learning and artificial intelligence has attracted attentions from academic, researchers and practitioners in different fields.\u00a0 In addition, to obtain a satisfactory solution for a group decision making problem, a consensus process is usually needed in which decision makers discuss, negotiate, and modify their opinions to obtain a satisfied consensus level.

There are several kinds of group decision making processes. This stream addresses Collaborative Decision Making processes. By Collaborative Decision Making processes, we intend that involved participants must pool their efforts in order to define and work on the achievement of a common goal. They have to integrate multiple points of view which reveal to be difficult. They have to work together, although not necessarily in the same place or at the same time. Decisional processes are then complex and involve a non-closed set of actors. The difficult point for decision-makers is to make a balance between their own preferences and the building of common preferences within the group. One direct application in the daily life of such Collaborative Decision-Making processes can be implemented through the e_democraty which is defined as a form of government in which all adult citizens are presumed to be eligible to participate equally in the proposal, development, and creation of laws.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #333333;\">The purpose of this stream is to allow researchers to present methodologies, mathematical models, and software supporting Collaborative Decision-Making processes.
