Abstract

Hybrid intelligent multiagent systems (HylMAS) with problem- and process-oriented conflicts and a visual representation of the conflictological aspect are relevant to the group dynamics of a team of experts in various fields solving the problem. Conflict management in HylMAS will allow suppressing destructive aspects of conflicts and stimulating the constructive ones. Visualization of a conflict situation makes the arising contradictions contrast visible. It provides the user with a quick understanding of which members of the team and at what stages the conflict occurs, what type and tension it is, which method of collective reasoning of specialist agents has made the greatest contribution to the process of stimulating a constructive conflict, and, also, at what stage the conflict is minimized. Also, it shows all used strategies for resolving conflicts and subgroups in the team of agents. A visual language of the representation is proposed. The syntax of the language is described using extended Backus-Naur forms augmented with positional syntax operators.
