Two-Agent Conflict Resolution with Assumption-Based Argumentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conflicts exist in multi-agent systems. Agents have different interests and desires. Agents also hold different beliefs and may make different assumptions. To resolve conflicts, agents need to better convey information between each other and facilitate fair negotiations that yield jointly agreeable outcomes. In this paper, we present a two-agent conflict resolution scheme developed under AssumptionBased Argumentation (ABA). Agents represent their beliefs and desires in ABA. Conflicts are resolved by merging conflicting arguments. We also discuss the notion of fairness and the use of argumentation dialogue in conflict resolution.

Conflict resolution with argumentation dialogues
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 wit...
متن کاملArgumentation 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 کاملPreferences and Assumption-Based Argumentation for Conflict-Free Normative Agents
Argumentation can serve as an effective computational tool and as a useful abstraction for various agent activities and in particular for agent reasoning. In this paper we further support this claim by mapping a form of normative BDI agents onto assumption-based argumentation. By way of this mapping we equip our agents with the capability of resolving conflicts amongst norms, beliefs, desires a...
متن کاملTowards Large-Scale Conflict Resolution: Initial Results
With the increasing interest in distributed and collaborative multi-agent applications, conflict resolution in largescale systems becomes an important problem. Our approach to collaborative conflict resolution is based on argumentation. To understand the feasibility and the scope of the approach, we first implemented the process in a system called CONSA and applied it to two complex, dynamic do...
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 ...
