An Abstract Argumentation Framework for Supporting Agreements in Agent Societies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an abstract argumentation framework for the support of agreement processes in agent societies. This framework takes into account arguments, attacks between them and the social contex of the agents that put forward arguments. Then, we define the semantics of the framework, providing a mechanism to evaluate arguments in view of other arguments posed in the argumentation process. Finally, the framework is illustrated with an example in a real domain of a water-rights transfer market.

Strategic argumentation in open multi-agent societies
The main aim of my PhD thesis is to develop a theory for arguing in groups and apply it to allow agents in open MultiAgent societies to reach agreements by using argumentation. The thesis proposes a computational argumentation framework for agent societies. Also, a protocol that allows agents in multi-agent societies to engage in argumentation processes is also being developed. ACM Categories: ...

متن کاملCase-based strategies for argumentation dialogues in agent societies
In multi-agent systems, agents perform complex tasks that require different levels of intelligence and give rise to interactions among them. From these interactions, conflicts of opinion can arise, especially when these systems become open, with heterogeneous agents dynamically entering or leaving the system. Therefore, agents willing to participate in this type of system will be required to in...
متن کاملArgumentation Tool that Enables Agents to Argue
Multi-Agent Systems are suitable to provide a framework that allows to perform collaborative processes in distributed environments. Furthermore, argumentation is a natural way of reaching agreements between several parties. We propose an infrastructure to develop and execute argumentative agents in an open MAS. It offers the tools to develop agents with argumentation capabilities. It also offer...
متن کاملAn ontological-based knowledge-representation formalism for case-based argumentation
In open multi-agent systems, agents can enter or leave the system, interact, form societies, and have dependency relations with each other. In these systems, when agents have to collaborate or coordinate their activities to achieve their objectives, their different interests and preferences can come into conflict. Argumentation is a powerful technique to harmonise these conflicts. However, in m...
