abstract: Negotiation is a complex and sometimes emotional decision-making process aiming to reach an agreement to exchange goods or services. Although a daily activity, extensive research has shown that few people are effective negotiators. Current state of the art negotiation support systems can help make a significant improvement in negotiation performance. In particular, when the negotiation space is well-understood such systems can make a difference, partly because machines can much better deal with the computational complexity involved. However, the negotiation space can only be properly developed if the human parties jointly explore their interests. The inherent semantic problem and the emotional issues involved make that negotiation cannot be handled by artificial intelligence alone, and a human-machine collaborative system is required. Such systems are not only to support humans in providing strategic advice but also in coping with emotions and moods in human-human interactions.

In order to develop human-machine collaborative negotiation support systems there is a need for the development of computational models, frameworks, and experimental and user-centred methods that enable the engineering of negotiation support systems. It is important for this purpose to study the role of human factors in negotiation as well as computational models to enable intelligent support for negotiation. To develop the next generation of negotiation support systems there are still many, diverse challenges: models of (qualitative, incomplete) preferences, preference change and strategies, preference elicitation, assessment methods for negotiation performance, learning and adaptativeness in negotiation, models of emotion and user awareness, the use and creation of domain knowledge, user interfaces for negotiation support, human-supported assessment of opponent, conflict handling styles, experimental methods.

abstract: In today’s global economy, competitiveness is determined by your ability to act first, to become true leaders and push science, technology and creativity to the limit. Success in this dynamic business environment is determined by the ability of senior strategists to evaluate and exploit the opportunities effectively and efficiently. The growth of intellectual property as the single most important corporate asset class in the world has elevated IP strategy as a critical component of business success and growth.

The 3rd annual Global IP Exchange™ has been designed to provide today’s Chief IP Counsel even more value for time out of office. By providing the attendees innovative and exciting presentations, topics for discussion and one-to-one business meetings, IP counsel attending the Global IP Exchange™ will come away with new ideas, insights and information that will re-energize their departments and enhance their contribution to the business overall.

abstract: The WINBIS conference is by now a well-respected event joining international researchers, Academia, students and interested fields to discuss the wide range of the development, implementation, application and improvement of business applications and systems.

The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of Wireless network , Information systems and applications for computing and communications in wireless systems. It aims to provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers, engineers, standards developers, related students and related persons to present their latest research, techniques, experiences and new ideas in the filed of wireless systems and to participate to gain these ideas.

At WINBIS in Kathmandu 2009, we will confront the ways in which we are creating informational environments with IT, and the consequences they have for organizations and for society. We will ask: are we really doing what we want, what we are worthy of, and what we desire for society? Are we creating betterment for human beings? Our intention is to challenge global academic and industrial leaders to confront the ethical basis, the design processes and the consequences of IT as we create a worldwide ubiquitous presence of information and communication technologies.

abstract: International Conference on eGovernment & eGovernance (IC-eGov) aims to provide a platform to leaders, bureaucrats, technocrats, researchers, practitioners and academics across the globe to present and discuss on their research findings, experiences, strategies, policies, technologies, case studies and best practices in the field of eGovernment and eGovernance. The conference provides an opportunity for all stakeholders to come together to gain an understanding of real-world eGovernment and eGovernance issues and to discuss ways to put research into practice.

abstract: Join hundreds of your colleagues at the only annual conference exploring the on-line presentation of cultural, scientific and heritage content across institutions and around the world: Museums and the Web.

Museums and the Web addresses the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on-line. Taking an international perspective, senior speakers with extensive experience in Web development review and analyze the issues and impacts of networked cultural, natural and scientific heritage. Together, we are transforming communities and organizations.

abstract: GROUP Conferences provide forums for researchers and practitioners who are interested in topics related to computer-based systems that have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, methodologies, and effects of these systems.
