Temporal Defeasible Argumentation in Multi-Agent Planning

In this paper, I present my ongoing research on temporal defeasible argumentation-based multi-agent planning. In multi-agent planning a team of agents share a set of goals but have diverse abilities and temporal beliefs, which vary over time. In order to plan for these goals, agents start a stepwise dialogue consisting of exchanges of temporal plan proposals, plus temporal arguments against the...

Defeasible argumentation for multi-agent planning in ambient intelligence applications

This contribution presents a practical extension of a theoretical model for multi-agent planning based upon DeLP, an argumentation-based defeasible logic. Our framework, named DeLP-MAPOP, is implemented on a platform for open multi-agent systems and has been experimentally tested, among others, in applications of ambient intelligence in the field of health-care. DeLP-MAPOP is based on a multi-a...

Realizing Argumentation in Multi-agent Systems Using Defeasible Logic Programming

We describe a working multi-agent architecture based on Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) by Garcı́a and Simari where agents are engaged in an argumentation to reach a common conclusion. Due to the distributed approach personalities and opinions of the individual agents give rise to arguments and counterarguments concerning a particular query. We establish a sound theoretical framework of a sp...

An Approach for Argumentation-based Reasoning Using Defeasible Logic in Multi-Agent Programming Languages

Argumentation systems are intimately related to nonmonotonic reasoning, of which defeasible reasoning is one widely-known approach. For example, the literature points out defeasible logic (a particular formalisation of defeasible reasoning) as a practical platform upon which to develop an argumentation system. In this paper, we develop an approach to endow AgentSpeak agents with argumentative c...
