Conflict resolution is essential to obtain cooperation in many scenarios such as politics and business, as well as our day to day life. The importance of conflict resolution has driven research in many fields like anthropology, social science, psychology, mathematics, biology and, more recently, in artificial intelligence. Computer science and artificial intelligence have, in turn, been inspired by theories and techniques from these disciplines, which has led to a variety of computational models and approaches, such as automated negotiation, group decision making, argumentation, preference aggregation, and human-machine interaction. To bring together the different research strands and disciplines in conflict resolution, the Workshop on Conflict Resolution in Decision Making (COREDEMA) was organized. This special issue benefited from the workshop series, and consists of significantly extended and revised selected papers from the ECAI 2016 COREDEMA workshop, as well as completely new contributions.

解决冲突对于在政治和商业以及我们的日常生活等许多场景中获得合作至关重要。解决冲突的重要性推动了许多领域的研究，如人类学、社会科学、心理学、数学、生物学以及最近的人工智能。计算机科学和人工智能反过来又受到这些学科的理论和技术的启发，从而产生了各种计算模型和方法，例如自动协商、群体决策、论证、偏好聚合和人机相互作用。为了将冲突解决方面的不同研究领域和学科结合起来，组织了决策制定中的冲突解决研讨会 (COREDEMA)。
