Optimization Algorithms and Tools Applied in Agreements Negotiation

Abstract

In this paper we introduce new mechanisms of dispute resolution as a helping tool in legal procedures for lawyers, mediators and judges with the objective to reach an agreement between the parties; in some situations. The primary objectives are the following: To apply algorithmic mechanisms to the solution of certain national and cross-border civil matters, including matrimonial regimes, successions and trusts, commercial law and consumer law, facilitating the agreement process among the parties; to demonstrate the efficacy of an algorithmic approach and apply it into the allocation of goods, or the resolution of issues, in disputes, leading the parties to a friendly solution before or during the trial comparison. We will focus on the algorithms used for resolving disputes that involve a division of goods between agents, e.g. inheritance, divorces and company law.
