Argumentative Agent Deliberation, Roles and Context
2002
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
This paper presents an argumentation based framework to support an agent's deliberation process for drawing conclusions under a given policy. ...
The framework uses roles and context to define policy preferences at different levels of deliberation allowing a modular representation of the agent's knowledge that avoids the need for explicit qualification ...
For the more general framework with dynamic priorities we apply the same proof theory extended and a derivation is thus split into levels. ...

2007
19th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence(ICTAI 2007)
In this paper, a tool that uses an argumentation based decision making framework is proposed for the construction of mutual fund portfolios. ...
The argumentation framework is employed in order to develop mutual funds performance models and to select a small set of mutual funds, which will compose the final portfolio. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank very warmly Professor Pavlos Moraitis for his helpful comments. ...

An Argumentation Framework Based on Conditional Priorities
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We also establish a sufficient condition for a conditional priority-based argumentation to have a unique stable extension based on the notion of stratification. ...
Our work reveals some interesting problems to conditional priority-based argumentation and establishes the fundamental properties of these frameworks. ...
It employs an argumentation framework as the underlying engine for reasoning. This is because the abstract argumentation framework [8] is very generic and flexible. ...

Using argumentation logic for firewall configuration management
2009
2009 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management
This permits both analysis and generation to be done within the same framework, thus accommodating a wide variety of scenarios for authoring and maintaining firewall configurations. ...
In this paper we extend our previous work on the use of formal argumentation and preference reasoning for firewall policy analysis and develop means to automatically generate firewall policies from higher-level ...
In addition, we add in the theory generic priority rules that give any (existing) rule whose conclusion is incompatible with ∆ A higher priority over the new argument rule name : ∆ A . ...

Using Argumentation Logic for Firewall Policy Specification and Analysis
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we propose an approach to firewall policy specification and analysis that uses a formal framework for argumentation based preference reasoning. ...
The use of a formal framework means that the security requirements defined can be automatically analysed for inconsistencies and firewall configurations can be automatically generated. ...

Gorgias-C: Extending Argumentation with Constraint Solving
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
General Information GORGIAS-C is a system implementing a logic programming framework of argumentation that integrates together preference reasoning and constraint solving. ...
It also allows, as GORGIAS, the use of abductive predicates as a special kind of argumentation. The general format of such a program is as follows. 3 ...

Layered Strategies and Protocols for Argumentation-Based Agent Interaction
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This framework was proposed in [6] and developed further in [7] , in order to accommodate a dynamic notion of priority over the rules (and hence the arguments) of a given theory [2, 12] . ...
In this paper we propose an argument-based framework for representing communication theories of agents that can take into account in a uniform way these different aspects. ...
We would like to thank Ulle Endriss and the anonymous referees of this paper for their comments. ...

Modeling Data Access Legislation with Gorgias
[chapter]

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The system can also advise a user on what additional information is required for a higher access level. ...
This paper uses argumentation as the basis for modeling and implementing the relevant legislation of an EU country relating to medical data access. ...

Modular Representation of Agent Interaction Rules through Argumentation
2005
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
In this paper we propose an argument-based framework for representing communication theories of agents that can take into account in a uniform way these different aspects. ...
Communication between agents needs to be flexible enough to encompass together a variety of different aspects such as, conformance to society protocols, private tactics of the individual agents, strategies ...

Explainable and Argumentation-based Decision Making with Qualitative Preferences for Diagnostics and Prognostics of Alzheimer's Disease
2020
Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
To automate the decision computation, we map QPDFs to Assumption-based Argumentation (ABA) frameworks so that we can utilize existing ABA argumentative engines for our implementation. ...
In a QPDF, we use contextual priority to represent the relative importance of combinations of goals in different contexts and define associated strategies for deriving decision preferences based on prioritized ...

GORGIAS: Applying argumentation
2018
Argument & Computation
The proposed approach is quite general for this type of applications of argumentation and, thus, it can be used with any preference-based argumentation framework. ...
We briefly review the Gorgias framework and its past applications and present an emerging general methodological approach for developing "decision making" applications of argumentation. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper a dialectical proof theory is proposed for logical systems for defeasible argumentation that t a certain format. ...
A main feature of the proof theory is that it also applies to systems in which reasoning about the standards for comparing arguments is possible. ...

Argumentation Based Resolution of Conflicts between Desires and Normative Goals
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
To prevent such deleterious effects we propose a general framework for argumentation-based resolution of conflicts amongst desires and norms. ...
In this framework, arguments for and against compliance are arguments justifying rewards, respectively punishments, exacted by 'enforcing' agents. ...

Nonmonotonic reasoning as prioritized argumentation
2001
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
This paper proposes a formalism for nonmonotonic reasoning based on prioritized argumentation. ...
We argue that nonmonotonic reasoning in general can be viewed as selecting monotonic inferences by a simple notion of priority among inference rules. ...
In particular, the term prioritized argumentation was rst used by a referee which prompted an investigation that produced Section 2.3. ...

Reasoning about preferences in argumentation frameworks
2009
Artificial Intelligence
The abstract nature of Dung's seminal theory of argumentation accounts for its widespread application as a general framework for various species of non-monotonic reasoning, and, more generally, reasoning ...
The extended theory preserves the abstract nature of Dung's approach, thus aiming at a general framework for non-monotonic formalisms that accommodate defeasible reasoning about as well as with preference ...
