Cover Story: Information about decision makers' (DMs) preferences is essential for efficient conflict modeling. However, obtaining this information becomes a challenge as the scale of the conflict increases. To address this issue, we propose an approach to elicit DMs' preferences with less cognitive effort. The proposed method involves partitioning the set of conflict options based on their importance, then applying the option prioritization and conflict stability analysis method to sub-conflicts where only the options from each partition set are considered. The main conclusions highlight a reduction in the cognitive effort required of DMs and the generation of more effective solutions that meet the central needs of the conflict. A case study of a real hydrological conflict was analyzed. View this paper
