Conflict resolution with argumentation dialogues

چکیده
Conflicts exist in multi-agent systems for a number of reasons: agents have different interests and desires; agents hold different beliefs; agents make different assumptions. To resolve conflicts, agents need to better convey information to each other and facilitate fair negotiations yielding jointly agreeable outcomes. We present a two-agent, dialogical conflict resolution scheme developed with the Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA) framework.

Argumentation Dialogues for Two-Agent Conflict Resolution
We present a method for (two) agents to resolve conflicts amongst themselves, when these conflicts arise from the agents suggesting different realizations of the same goal. The method uses generalpurpose dialogues to allow agents to exchange views. These are in the form of rules, assumptions and contraries of assumptions, in the format underlying Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA). Thus, the ...
متن کاملAssumption-Based Argumentation Dialogues
Formal argumentation based dialogue models have attracted some research interests recently. Within this line of research, we propose a formal model for argumentation-based dialogues between agents, using assumption-based argumentation (ABA). Thus, the dialogues amount to conducting an argumentation process in ABA. The model is given in terms of ABA-specific utterances, debate trees and forests ...
متن کاملArgumentation and Artifacts for Negotiation Support
Negotiation is a central process in an agent society where autonomous agents have to cooperate in order to resolve conflicting interests and yet compete to divide limited resources. A direct dialogical exchange of information between agents usually leads to competitive forms of negotiation where the most powerful agents win. Alternatively, an intelligent mediated interaction may better achieve ...
متن کاملTowards conflict resolution in agent teams via argumentation
In a complex, dynamic multi-agent setting, coherent team actions are often jeopardized by conflicts in agents’ beliefs, plans and actions. Despite the considerable progress in teamwork research, the challenge of intra-team conflict resolution has remained largely unaddressed. This paper presents a system called CONSA, to resolve conflicts using argumentation-based negotiations. The key insight ...
