The conference is highly international, with participants from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. It covers every aspect of group decision making and negotiation involving human and artificial agents.
The field of Group Decision and Negotiation focuses on decision processes with at least two participants and a common goal. Here, group decision and negotiation refers not only to the final choice, but also to the whole process leading up to a group decision, for example scanning, communication and information sharing, problem definition (representation) and evolution, alternative generation, and social-emotional interaction. Thus, Group Decision and Negotiation deals broadly with relationships and coordination in group-processes.
In cooperation with Mats Danielson and Love Ekenberg from the University of Stockholm, Komendantova will present a paper titled “A Multi-stakeholder Approach for Energy Transition Policy Formation in Jordan”. The paper is the result of a four-year collaborative study based on an extensive participatory and stakeholder process in Jordan, and conducted by researchers from IIASA, Jordan, and Sweden. Komendatova and her co-workers explored sustainable solutions to the growing energy demand in Jordan by analyzing the importance of several criteria to different groups of stakeholders.
