An Efficient Argumentation Framework for Negtiating Autonomous Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Argumentation is important for agent negotiation. In this paper, we develop an efficient framework for multi-agent argumentation. We identify aspects of classical argumentation theory that are suitable and useful for artificial agents and develop an argumentation framework around them. In the framework, we distinguish cooperation and argumentation and introduce skeptical and credulous agents. We develop an operational, goal-driven top-down proof procedure for the argumentation process and evaluate an implementation of our framework for an example of a BT business process.

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 کاملA Persuasive Dialogue Game for Coalition Formation
In this paper, I propose a formal dialogue framework that enables autonomous agents to engage in a process of practical reasoning, in which they can propose to form coalitions that perform joint actions, using argumentation. An argumentation scheme is used to drive this coalition formation process that results in qualitative payoffs. This paper builds on existing work that uses value-based argu...
متن کاملArgumentation-Based Negotiation? Negotiation-Based Argumentation!
We design a protocol for two autonomous negotiating agents to incorporate Dung-style argumentation into an ongoing bargaining dialogue. Previous approaches considered bargaining and Dung-Style Argumentation as separated components, we show that intertwining these approaches increases the agents scope of action. In our framework the acceptance of an argument or attack uttered by self-interested ...
