Please note that if there is more than one definition, it is very important to provide information on the context of the different terms and to explain to the user why it is not possible to identify only one definition.  For example, is this an emerging concept for which there is still much research to be done?  Or have two different definitions emerged as the result of two different disciplines interacting with systems engineering?

A problem situation involving participants in which "although their basic interests are compatible, they do not share the same values and beliefs. Space needs to be made available within which debate, disagreement, even conifct, can take place. If this is done, and all feel they have been involved in decision-making, then accommodations and compromises can be found. Participants will come to agree, at least temporarily, on productive ways forward and will act accordingly." (Jackson 2003, p. 19)
