What it is for
Support negotiation simulations by organising meetings, timing and information exchange between actors.
My contribution
Software author, developer and owner: Adriano Pantaleo. Tested during Arctic Science Diplomacy in Erice, in an exercise with around 18 participants on average and 3 controllers.
How it works
The Engine manages invitations, negotiation tables, timing and information visibility. It supports the analogue procedures of Arctic Science Diplomacy.
Results and materials
During the Erice trial, the software was set aside because of the cognitive load observed during facilitation. The account is qualitative; retained documentation includes the game rankings. The tested version has a public Zenodo record with restricted files.
Coming next
Simplify the interface and procedures, assess their use through new playtests and publish the revision on Zenodo.
Related projects
The game includes analogue procedures; the Engine provides digital support for managing negotiations.
