The proprietary research and educational tool of the N.EA team is the eNego electronic negotiation system. This system was developed as a product of a scientific project funded by the Polish National Science Center and serves as a tool for simulating multi-criteria bilateral negotiation processes. As an electronic negotiation system, it operates online and facilitates synchronous or asynchronous negotiations, incorporating decision support in pre-negotiation, negotiation, and post-negotiation phases. By using this system, users have the opportunity to test their knowledge in both negotiation theory, concerning remote contract negotiations, and decision theory—verifying skills in defining preferences accurately and using this knowledge to reach the most advantageous negotiation outcome.
The eNego system allows for conducting scientific research on electronic negotiations. Numerous questionnaires and psychometric tests implemented in the system as part of pre- and post-negotiation surveys have so far collected interesting data describing behavioral and formal aspects of conducting negotiations via electronic support systems. Examples of papers reporting results of such experiments include:

Those interested in participating in negotiation sessions or incorporating eNego into their educational process are invited to contact the head of the N.EA team.

Today (26th May 2022) is the second anniversary of the death of professor Gregory Kersten, an outstanding scientist and founder of electronic negotiation and electronic negotiation systems. Gregory Kersten was a person devoted to his family, work, and science. He helped many young researchers to start their careers and stimulated them to be creative and innovative in their studies. He had remarkable achievements, both scientific and organizational. The latter concentrated on consolidating and promoting a scientific environment working in the field of group decision and negotiation. Was a former president of the GDN Section of INFORMS, editor in chief of Group Decision and Negotiation Journal, and good-spirit and animator of Group Decision and Negotiation conferences organized yearly by the Section. We still miss him in GDN and N.EA.
More information about Gregory Kersten and the activities focused on promoting his life and research legacy may be found on the website of the Kersten Foundation (https://fundacja.kerstens.org/)

Mathematical Problems in Engineering (MPE) - an international scientific journal - has set up a new special issue entitled "Building Mathematical Models for Multicriteria and Multiobjective Applications". This SI is devoted to the use of the formal approach based on the mathematical modeling to supporting real-life decision-making problems that involve multiple criteria analysis. Among the SI editors, there is also prof. Tomasz Wachowicz, a member of the N.EA team. If you are interested in submitting your manuscript to our SI, please contact Tomasz Wachowicz by email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
More details about the SI can be found on the Hindawi Publisher's web page or in the pdf file: call for papers.

In January 2019 a new experiment in eNego system is going to be organized. The eNego system is an electronic negotiation system designed for supporting bilateral negotiations according to the negotiation protocol recommended by the modern theory of negotiation analysis. Such a protocol allows supporting the negotiators at each of the negotiation phases.
We encourage everybody who is interested in electronic negotiations and negotiation support to register to the forthcoming experiments. Participation in the eNego simulation gives you an opportunity to learn how the contemporary science of negotiation contributes to the support of the negotiation activities of the negotiator in bilateral negotiations.
If you wish to participate in the experiment, contact the experiment coordinator by email before December 31, 2018 at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

On December 12, 2018 a seminar of the Institute for Managerial Decision Support and Analysis (University of Economics in Katowice) was organized for the last time in this year . A keynote speaker at the seminar was prof. Thalles Garcez from Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil), who delivered a presentation devoted to multi-criteria decision analysis of risky alternatives in the context of group decision making problem
