The paper presents a comparison of selected methods of conflict analysis inspired by the Pawlak model. It examines a real-world case study, the 2020 presidential election in Poland. The study explores five distinct approaches to conflict analysis, ...

In this paper we study the problem of selecting the most relevant elements of a finite set N of elements from a ranking of non-empty subsets of N, that represents the performance of different coalitions. To solve this problem, we first introduce ...

Recent literature on Participatory Design describes the act of designing coalitions around a matter of concern. This paper challenges the notion of concern as the ontological basis of coalitions. Coalitions are, in fact, political organizational forms ...

Nowadays, artificial intelligence makes a great success in our modern social life. The human should be prepared to be able to live with social robots that can provide him comfort and help in solving complex processes. Extending the use of robot’s ...

This paper studies the cores and dominance cores of cooperative games endowed with fuzzy payoffs. When the payoffs of coalitions are imprecise, the fuzzy numbers can be used to model the fuzzy payoffs. Various concepts of cores and dominance cores are ...

In this study, we use a new method to improve the cooperation among agents in dynamic complex networks with source exchanging environments. As we know, in real life if we want to complete a task, cooperating with others will be better. ...

Popularity of research in the area of robotics over the last years opens new tasks to develop in the area of intelligent behavior of robots for coalition creation and joint tasks solving by them. The article presents an approach to ontology-based ...

The observation that politics makes strange bedfellows may be hackneyed, but it is also often true: Politicians and other actors in the policy process routinely align themselves on specific issues with actors with whom they otherwise have broad ...

The issue of collaboration amongst agents in a multi-agent system (MAS) represents a challenging research problem. In this paper we focus on a form of cooperation known as coalition formation. The problem we consider is how to facilitate the formation ...

Coalition fuzzy stability concepts are developed within the Fuzzy Preference Framework for the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution to investigate how decision makers can cooperate. The objective is to identify favorable outcome(s) in a multiple ...

Internet-based scenarios, like co-working, e-freelancing, or crowdsourcing, usually need supporting collaboration among several actors that compete to service tasks. Moreover, the distribution of service requests, i.e., the arrival rate, varies over ...

In this paper we analyze the behavior of bargaining sets in continuum economies when there are restrictions on the formation of coalitions. We provide several characterizations of Vind’s (J Math Econ 21:89–97, 1992) bargaining set in terms of its ...

The Firefighter Problem was proposed in 1995 [16] as a deterministic discrete-time model for the spread (and containment) of a fire. Its applications reach from real fires to the spreading of diseases and the containment of floods. Furthermore, it ...

The logics of "bringing-it-about" have been part of a prominent tradition for the formalization of individual and institutional agency. They are the logics to talk about what states of affairs an acting entity brings about while abstracting away from ...

A Self-organizing Map (SOM) is a competitive learning neural network architecture that make available a certain amount of classificatory neurons, which self-organize spatially based on input patterns. In this paper we explore the use of complex network ...

In this article we tackle the problem of maximizing cooperation among self-interested agents in a resource exchange environment. Our main concern is the design of mechanisms for maximizing cooperation among self-interested agents in a way that their ...

Sharing resources and information in a secure fashion is a requirement for collaboration among distributed organizations. Proper access control mechanisms are required in order to manage access to those shared resources. A coalition provides a virtual ...

Microaggregation is a cardinality-constrained clustering problem that arose in the context of data privacy. In microaggregation, the number of clusters is not fixed beforehand, but each cluster must have at least k elements. We illustrate in this ...

A new axiom which is called dummy coalitions axiom within games in characteristic function form is proposed in this paper. Propositions which show that existing coalition values satisfy the proposed axiom are given. This paper also provides some ...

Since its origins, Cellular Automata (CA) has been used to model many type of physical and computational phenomena. Interacting CAs in spatial lattices combined with evolutionary game theory have been very popular for modeling genetics or behavior in ...
