Negotiation Support Systems for Groundwater Managment in Small Islands.

小岛屿地下水管理谈判支助系统。小岛屿上不断扩大的人口和有限的土地面积正在增加对新鲜地下水资源的压力。目前的困境是，如何保护浅层地下水储备，同时又不疏远传统的土地所有者，不引发代价高昂的冲突。这个问题很复杂，涉及水文和技术因素与社会文化、经济、政策和体制因素的相互作用。多智能体系统（MAS）是研究社会与环境之间相互作用的一种新方法。在这里，我们将利用MAS开发小岛屿地下水管理谈判支持系统。

Negotiation Support Systems for Groundwater Managment in Small Islands. Expanding populations and limited land area in small islands are increasing the pressures on fresh groundwater resources. The dilemma is how to protect shallow groundwater reserves without alienating traditional landowners and without generating costly conflicts. The problem is complex and involves the interaction of hydrologic and technical factors with socio-cultural, economic, policy and institutional factors. Multi Agent Systems (MAS) have been developed to study the interaction between societies and the environment. Here we will use MAS to develop Negotiation Support Systems for groundwater management in small islands.
