LNAI 4049 - Argumentation-Based Multi-agent Dialogues for Deliberation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an argumentation-based approach to deliberation, the process by which two or more agents reach a consensus on a course of action. The kind of deliberation that we are interested in is a process that combines both the selection of an overall goal, the reduction of this goal into sub-goals, and the formation of a plan to achieve the overall goal. We develop a mechanism for doing this, describe how this mechanism can be integrated into a system of argumentation to provide a sound and complete deliberation system, and show how the same process can be achieved through a multi-agent dialogue.

LNAI 4049 - New Types of Inter-agent Dialogues
Much work in the area of argumentation-based dialogues between agents has been based on the influential taxonomy of dialogue types developed by Walton and Krabbe. In this paper we re-examine the Walton and Krabbe framework, concentrating on the preconditions for different types of dialogue and analyzing them in a systematic way. Doing so identifies a number of new kinds of dialogue missing from...
متن کاملTesting the benfits of structured argumentation in multi-agent deliberation dialogues
Work on argumentation-based dialogue systems often assumes that the adoption of argumentation leads to improved efficiency and effectiveness. Several studies have taken an experimental approach to prove these alleged benefits, but none has so far supported the expressiveness of a logic for structured argumentation. This paper shows how the use of argumentation in deliberation dialogues can be t...

This paper presents a novel approach to modelling embedded agent dialogues. It proposes a specific structure for the supporting information accompanying the arguments that agents exchange during a dialogue, it defines formally how this information relates to the agent theory, and assigns to it semantics that is associated to each of the atomic dialogue types of the Walton-Krabbe typology. This ...

متن کاملA Formal Argumentation Framework for Deliberation Dialogues
Agents engage in deliberation dialogues to collectively decide on a course of action. To solve conflicts of opinion that arise, they can question claims and supply arguments. Existing models fail to capture the interplay between the provided arguments as well as successively selecting a winner from the proposals. This paper introduces a general framework for agent deliberation dialogues that us...
