abstract = {Rough set theory and approximation spaces introduced by Zdzislaw Pawlak provide a framework for modelling social as well as technical conflicts. This is especially relevant in domains such as requirements engineering, an essential phase of software development. The socio-technical conflict model makes it possible to represent social conflicts (as conflict degrees) and technical conflicts (interaction between issues) in a unified framework. Reasoning about conflict dynamics is made possible by approximation spaces and conflict patterns. An illustrative example of such a framework is presented. The contribution of this paper is a formal socio?-?technical model and two approaches to reasoning: vectors of conflict degrees and approximation spaces.},
