Online Dispute Resolution

We have proposed that the development of digital government systems should be viewed as the design, analysis, implementation, execution, and modification of efficient, effective processes with stringent fairness requirements. We are demonstrating our approach through the domain of dispute resolution in cooperation with the National Mediation Board.

Dispute resolution is a government process domain where fairness is particularly crucial. Efficient, effective and fair dispute resolution can do much to restore trust in government, even after other transactions may have been problematic. Poorly done dispute resolution can, on the other hand, destroy trust in government. Since processes for carrying out dispute resolution are often the only way many citizens ever interact with government, it is vital that these processes be efficient, effective and fair.
