Environmental management problems often involve multiple stakeholders, who often have different objectives and value systems. The proposed research program aims to develop multiple participant decision making techniques for creatively addressing challenging environmental management problems. More specifically, the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) methodology will be significantly expanded, and computerized systems will be designed to support and operationalize newly developed methods. Within the proposed research program, further development of GMCR will be carried out in the following three areas. First, a new generation of a decision support system for conflict resolution will be designed and developed based on recent new developments. Second, approaches based on GMCR will be devised to model and analyze strategic interactions among multiple decision makers in the management of risks, from communication to assessment to management. Third, research will be carried out to integrate, adapt, and develop solution concepts from GMCR for use within the agent-based modeling and simulation paradigm. Practical decision problems in environmental management and other areas will be utilized as case studies to develop, test, and improve the decision methods investigated. The methodologies and tools developed in the proposed research can be utilized by decision makers, practitioners, and researchers interested in sustainable environmental management, which is a significant challenge for the Canadian society. Graduate students will be trained to create multiple participant decision techniques, design and implement decision support systems, and apply the new and improved techniques to complex environmental management problems. The training received will prepare graduate students to pursue their careers in academia, research, development, and consulting. Results from the proposed research should significantly contribute to the theory and practice of multiple participant decision making techniques.

环境管理问题往往涉及多个利益攸关方，他们往往有不同的目标和价值体系。拟议的研究计划旨在开发多参与决策技术，创造性地解决具有挑战性的环境管理问题。更具体地说，将大大扩大解决冲突图表模型方法，并将设计计算机化系统，以支持和实施新开发的方法。在拟议的研究计划中，GMCR的进一步发展将在以下三个领域进行。首先，将根据最近的新发展设计和开发新一代解决冲突的决策支持系统。其次，将设计基于GMCR的方法来建模和分析多个决策者在风险管理中的战略互动，从沟通到评估再到管理。第三，将进行研究，以整合，适应和发展解决方案的概念，从GMCR内使用的基于代理的建模和仿真范例。环境管理和其他领域的实际决策问题将被用作案例研究，以开发，测试和改进所研究的决策方法。在拟议的研究中开发的方法和工具，可以利用的决策者，从业人员和研究人员感兴趣的可持续环境管理，这是加拿大社会的一个重大挑战。研究生将接受培训，以创建多参与决策技术，设计和实施决策支持系统，并应用新的和改进的技术，复杂的环境管理问题。接受的培训将准备研究生在学术界，研究，开发和咨询追求自己的职业生涯。从拟议的研究结果应显着有助于多参与决策技术的理论和实践。
