Abstract

The novel decision support system GMCR+ is designed for encapsulating advanced communication features including the capabilities to define, analyse, and communicate models and analyses of a given conflict, thereby enabling it to support negotiation and the management of strategic conflict. A major feature of GMCR+ is its ability to visualise conflicts explicitly using enriched graph models. Other tools that facilitate communication are the automatic calculation of conflict parameters and the ability to export them to Excel. Moreover, a novel status quo analysis procedure enables an analyst to examine the possible evolution of a conflict from an initial (status quo) state to a specified outcome. Even if a win/win outcome exists, it cannot be a resolution unless it is reachable.
