Abstract
The importance of multi-agents systems, models of agents’ interaction is increasing nowadays as distributed systems of computers started to play a significant role in society. An interaction occurs when two or more agents, which have to act in order to attain their objectives, are brought into a dynamic relationship. This relationship is the consequence of the limited resources which are available to them in a situation. If the number of resources is insufficient to attain agents’ goals it often comes into the conflicts. This can happen in almost all industrial activities requiring distributed approach, such as network control, the design and manufacture of industrial products or the distributed regulation of autonomous robots. However, distributed systems is only one from many different areas where a conflict can arise and where it is worth to apply computer aided conflict analysis. Just to mention some human activities like business, government, political or military operations, labour-management negotiations etc. etc.
