Abstract: There have been many decision support systems that provide advice for resolving disputes. However, little effort has been devoted to dispute avoidance. Through the use of the intelligent eGanges shell, this work expands on interest-based negotiation support systems, to develop dispute avoidance ontologies and software for negotiation planning systems. It is suggested that intelligent negotiation technology may add to alternate dispute resolution techniques and further diminish litigation. An example eGanges application that blends minimax contractual transaction strategy and forward planning of a cohabitation agreement, is used to explain the potential of negotiation planning to avoid commercial and domestic conflict.
