	Web-based Negotiation Support System

Aspire version Beta 1.0 (for internal testing only)

Aspire^© is the first system designed to conduct negotiations on the Web; developed by the InterNeg Group at Concordia University and Carleton University, together with collaborators in several countries and a growing number of users from over eight countries.

Aspire^© has been developed for teaching and research purposes. We collect and analyse information generated during negotiations. We also ask users to fill in two questionnaires. Under no circumstances, however, do we provide or allow access to individual records nor do we disclose any information about any users (e.g., their names or email addresses).

Before you begin your Aspire negotiations follow these simple steps:

1. Read about the Inspire system
2. Review the example that demonstrates Inspire's features.
3. Look at a handout for an explanation of the main steps and actions for using INSPIRE.
4. Remember that we have prepared FAQ and Glossary pages for you.

Take a shortcut to your negotiation by submitting the form below if:

• you are revisiting this page to continue an ASPIRE negotiation; or
• the negotiation has been set up for you and you were given the negotiation name, user name and (optionally) the password.

Please note that your counterpart may be in the same or a different time zone. Your counterpart wants to negotiate with you, so check either the Aspire site or your email every day.
