“…Taking ARCON [11] as a reference model, several types of conflicts can be identified. Considering the intrinsic nature of the VO, four dimensions can be pointed out in which conflicts are likely to emerge:…”

Abstract. Conflicts are frequent in virtually every scenario involving complex interactions. Collaborative Networks, in which there is a compromise between skills, competencies and resources, are not an exception. Moreover, these conflicts can be different in nature, ranging from cultural or relational conflicts to conflicts of interests. Although conflicts are common in these virtual settings, very few tools exist to settle them. Therefore, parties involved in conflict resolution generally have to resort to traditional approaches, which delay the process and waste the advantages of these Virtual Organizations. In this paper we present a structured model of a contract for a Collaborative Network. Based on this model, we developed an information system which is able to build conflict scenarios and determine the possible and probable outcomes. We combine this development with the UMCourt platform, which comprises a rich negotiation and mediation tool, to build a conflict resolution framework in the context of Collaborative Networks.

“…In this work we take into consideration the work of prof. Lewiki et al [6] and Goldberg et al [8] on the dynamics and processes of conflict resolution, and the work of Raiffa [7] on decision theory and negotiation analysis. During its development, an agent-based approach was followed [10,11].…”

“…The basic services realize access to the underlying data structures which implement the concepts identified in this paper. The modeling framework ARCON helps to understand, design and implement collaborative networks [20]. Although many models exist, they do not help to focus on how the basic underlying concepts are perceived by users.…”

Abstract. Today's enterprise information and cooperation systems are numerous and diverse. Users have problems of information overload, task interruption and media discontinuity. A unification approach of existing systems would be supportive to overcome these issues by reducing the variety and thereby the complexity. A process of unification starts with the comprehension of existing systems belonging to the virtual environment, by modeling them. The second step is the unification on the model layer followed by the last step, the design of the user interface. This paper will present the first step, a meta-model for cooperation systems, which applies concepts used in professional groupware systems as well as social media platforms. Major elements and concepts of cooperation systems will be identified to provide a basis for the unification of the virtual environment.

“…For the study of Collaborative Networks, like for any other developing discipline, there is a need for a roadmap [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] attempting to facilitate the integration of previous results into a theoretical foundation (including terminology, axioms, models, methodologies). The study of complex CNs requires a theory that allows the analysis and modeling of properties such as complexity, emergence, self-organization, dynamics, etc.…”

Abstract. The multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary movement studying Collaborative Networks (CNs) introduced terminologies, reference architectures, methodologies and models, with the aim of helping the design, creation, operation and maintenance of CNs, and its virtual organisations (VOs). Almost a decade ago, the IST European VOMap project reported a lack of 'well founded theory and models' for sustainable collaborative networks, and this article is an attempt into this direction. The article defines and introduces 'Cybernetics of Collaborative Networks' (C2N) as a field of CN-research intended as a unified theory of CNs, formalising, synthesising, harmonising and systematising individual CN-related results addressing management and control problems in CNs. Through this envisaged synthesis, the paper invokes a number of relevant reference models and corresponding theories to outline a possible reference model and theory for self-designing CNs.
