A negotiation support system for resolving an international trans-boundary natural resource conflict
Caspian Sea Negotiation Support System (NSS) is developed to facilitate negotiations. The NSS provides optimal results with a reasonable computational effort using a heuristic algorithm. Areal shares of the countries have a non-linear relation with their economic gains. Clarification of the gains under each division rule is essential to success of negotiations. Caspian Sea NSS can delineate optimal nautical borders under different division rules.
