> AIMS AND SCOPE
> ===============
> 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, 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 not only
> support humans with strategic advice but also provide advice on
> coping with emotions and moods in human-human interactions.
>
> To develop the next generation of support systems there are still
> many, diverse challenges, including: models of (qualitative,
> incomplete) preferences, preference change and strategies,
> preference elicitation,
> assessment methods for negotiation performance, learning and
> adaptiveness in negotiation, models of emotion and user awareness.
>
> Like its predecessor, HuCom08, this workshop aims to bring together,
> and build a community of researchers from artificial intelligence,
> human-computer interaction, affective computing as well as
> researchers who are interested in negotiation support from a
> psychological, economical or social sciences perspective. Whereas
> HuCom08 was a standalone workshop, it is now organized as an IUI
> Workshop because of the shared interest in the combination of AI and
> HCI. We feel that the two communities can greatly benefit from each
> others work.
>
> TOPICS
> ===============
> Topics include but are not limited to:
>
> • Negotiation strategies (bidding, acceptance)
> • Recommender Systems
> • Trust-inspiring user interfaces for decision-making support
> • Usability and Social acceptability of decision-making support too
> ls
> • Argumentation for negotiation
> • Learning in negotiation
> • Negotiation domain knowledge
> • Preference elicitation
> • Qualitative preferences
> • Incomplete preferences
> • Ontologies for negotiation (protocols, preferences, domain knowled
> ge)
> • Negotiation Support Systems
> • User interfaces for Negotiation Support Systems
> • Human-machine negotiation
> • Negotiation, conflict handling, and experiments related to e.g. co
> nsensus building

> PAPER SUBMISSION
> ================
> We are pleased to solicit original and unpublished papers, currently
> not under review, for publication and presentation in the Workshop
> on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation. Articles
> describing novel ideas and applications in all areas related to
> human factors and computational models in negotiation, preference
> elicitation, recommendations, or group decision are of interest. We
> also invite submissions of statements of interests, position papers
> and demos. Papers should not be more than 10 pages. Each submitted
> paper will be fully refereed by at least three referees. The
> reviewing process will be managed by an international program
> committee.
>
> Papers will be published in the HuCom10 @ IUI workshop proceedings
> with an ISBN. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in
> a special issue of an international journal.
>
> Submission is entirely automated by a paper management tool, which
> is available from the main web site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hucom2010iui
> . Authors must first register their own account by obtaining a
> password, and then follow the instructions.
>
> Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be
> presented at the workshop.
>
> FORMAT
> ================
> A full-day workshop on February 7th, at the International Conference
> on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI), that includes paper
> presentations, a demo session and ample room for discussion of the
> issues and ideas presented during the day.
