Towards an Argument Interchange Format for Multi-Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes a strawman specification for an Argument Interchange Format (AIF) that might be used for data exchange between Argumentation tools or communication in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). The document started life as a skeleton for contributions from participants in the Technical Forum Group meeting in Budapest in September 2005, receiving also input from third parties. The results were subsequentely improved and added to by online discussion to form a more substantial. In its current form, this document is intended to be a strawman model which serves as a point of discussion for the community rather than an attempt at a definitive, all encompassing model. The hope is that it could provide a useful input to ArgMAS discussion in paricular on the utility of common Argumentation Interchange Formats, what form they might take and a potential research / development agenda to help realise them.

Towards an argument interchange format
The theory of argumentation is a rich, interdisciplinary area of research straddling the fields of artificial intelligence, philosophy, communication studies, linguistics, and psychology. In the last years, significant progress has been made in understanding the theoretical properties of different argumentation logics. However, one major barrier to the development and practical deployment of ar...
متن کاملTowards Characterising Argumentation Based Dialogue in the Argument Interchange Format
To facilitate development and practical deployment of argumentation systems, a recent shared notation, or Argument Interchange Format (AIF), has been proposed for representation and communication of argumentation knowledge amongst agents. The AIF is described as an abstract model, or “ontology”, characterising the core concepts and their relationships. Concrete reifications or syntaxes instanti...
متن کاملEliciting Requirements for an Argumentation Interchange Format
Argumentation Mark-up Languages have been formulated for exporting and storing argumentation knowledge described by use of argument editing and visualisation tools. These tools enable user structuring of arguments through diagramatic linkage of natural language sentences. Recent work has focussed on implementations of formal logical models of argument inference, and argumentation based decision...
متن کاملAutomatic Agent Protocol Generation from Argumentation
Research on argumentation has concentrated on abstract specification of arguments between a protagonist and an antagonist. However, as we build complete multi-agent systems that involve argumentation, there is a need to produce concrete implementations in which these abstract specifications are realised via protocols coordinating agent behavior. This creates a gap between argument specification...
متن کاملTowards a General Model for Argumentation Services
LA is a formal Logic of Argument which was originally developed as a flexible foundation for knowledge-level decision models, and to facilitate explanation and userinterface design. The logic has a clear semantics and is embodied in the PROforma language, a simple but effective representation for modeling decisions, plans and software agents. ASPIC is an EU funded project1 that aims to develop ...
