The purpose of this paper is to suggest that many argumentative moves in casual dialogues can be explained in terms of conflicting desires and conflicting beliefs, in such a way that some of these moves may be predicted. Participants appraise the different outcomes of the conflicting situation and try to find, together, through dialogue, a solution that they consider as acceptable. We show how ...

Resum Argumentative debates are a powerful tool for resolving conflicts and reaching agreements in open environments such as on-line communities. Here we introduce an argumentation framework to structure argumentative debates. Our framework represents the arguments issued by the participants involved in a debate, the (attack and defence) relationships between them, as well as participants? opin...

This paper presents a first step towards the automatic generation of argumentative responses to accompany the corrections proposed by a correction and writing-aid system. This system focuses on pairs of languages (e.g. French speakers writing in English), and incorporates a strong didactic orientation. We show how, in case several corrections are available, error annotations can be used to desi...

Q Should I take AI this semester? We address the problem of generating a coherent A If you want to take courses like paragraph presenting arguments for a conclusion in a Natural Language Processing or text generation system. Existing text planning techExpert Systems or Vision niques are not appropriate for this task for two main next semester, reasons: they do not explain how arguments can be i...

Argument is a possible strategy, technique, method and research methodology particularly suited to IS research. Aristotle, maybe the greatest of all empiricists, argued that a wellconducted argument is the only acceptable way to persuade others of an interpretation of empirics. This paper argues that there are advantages to the way research is designed, and received, if IS researchers explicitl...

We propose a new approach to designing agents based upon multi context systems and argumentation This approach allows the development of agent architectures which have a formal model in logic and a direct link between that model and its implementation To exemplify our approach we describe a case study of this relationship for a particular class of agent model namely the strong realist Belief De...
