....with the other agents. This synchronization process will result in coalition norms that are shared by all agents and will lie somewhere between the set of personal norms of the individual agents comprising the coalition (this averaging type of norm evolution is commonplace in human subjects [25]) This final state will only be reached if the group does not change and if the individual norms have stabilized. 2.3.5 Learning of Norms of norms (c.f. e.g. 115] for a description of the emergence of norms from a game theory point of view) and the acceptance of norms. These two types of ....

....tools are designed to provoke discussion of the conflict situations as much as elicit a suitable resolution. Hence, the model is prescriptive, without being a rigid formal process. 3.1. Basis for the Model Research into group behaviour indicates that conflict can lead to higher quality solutions [Brown 1988]. In requirements analysis, exploration of the areas where participants descriptions differ can lead to a much better understanding of the domain [Eden 1989] This is a strong argument for conflict to be carefully managed, with participants encouraged to express divergent views. This will ensure ....

....phase, which will then continue throughout the lifecycle. The participants understanding of the specification will differ, leading to further misunderstandings during design and implementation. Research into group behaviour indicates that conflict can produce higher quality solutions [Brown 1988]. Certainly, exploration of the areas where participants descriptions differ can lead to a much better understanding of the domain. This is a strong argument for conflict to be carefully managed in the software process, with participants encouraged to express divergent views. This will ensure that ....

....in existing software process models. There are several reasons why this ought not be the case. We have discussed the inevitability of conflict, and how its suppression makes resolution processes untraceable. Research into group behaviour indicates that conflict can produce higher quality solutions [Brown 1988]. Certainly, exploration of the areas where participants descriptions differ can lead to a much better understanding of the domain. This is a strong argument for conflict to be carefully managed in the software process, with participants encouraged to express divergent views. This will ensure that ....
