the work of architecture is believed to depend on the governing thought in the process of architectural designing. this thought can be analyzed, developed, experienced, and interpreted. creativity is the only domineering force in the idea of designing which is in quest for freeing architecture from the routine methods, and also finding the novel systems to answer the questions in architecture. ...

Extension-based argumentation semantics is a successful approach for performing non-monotonic reasoning based on argumentation theory. An interesting property of some extension-based argumentation semantics is that these semantics can be characterized in terms of logic programming semantics. In this paper, we present novel results in this topic. In particular, we show that one can induce an arg...

Hierarchical argumentation frameworks organise Dung argumentation frameworks into a hierarchy so that argumentation over preference information in a level n Dung framework is used to resolve conflicts between arguments in a level n1 framework. In this paper we formalise and extend value based argumentation [1] in a hierarchical argumentation framework and illustrate application of the resulting...

Argumentation has become a “hot topic” of AI research – especially outside the United States. The last year or two have seen AI Journal special issues devoting more than 300 pages to argumentation in AI, a new series of conferences on Computational Models of Argument, and a recent Dagstuhl Perspectives Seminar on Theory and Practice of Argumentation Systems, focusing on the future of argumentat...

Argumentation constitutes 1 of the most common forms of human interaction. Yet despite its pervasiveness, relatively little psychological research has been conducted on the topic. This article serves as an introduction to this research and has 2 goals. One is to discuss a number of general issues relevant to the study of argumentation, including the definition, goals and functions, structure, e...

An extension of an abstract argumentation framework is introduced that provides a direct representation of global conflicts between sets of arguments. The extension, called collective argumentation, turns out to be suitable for representing semantics of disjunctive logic programs. Collective argumentation theories are shown to possess a four-valued semantics, and are closely related to multiple...

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. W...

This paper presents preliminary work on identification of argumentation schemes, i.e., identifying premises, conclusion and name of argumentation scheme, in arguments for scientific claims in genetics research articles. The goal is to develop annotation guidelines for creating corpora for argumentation mining research. This paper gives the specification of ten semantically distinct argumentatio...

An argumentation profile is defined as a methodological instrument for analyzing argumentative discourse considering distinct and interrelated dimensions: the types of argument used, their quality, emotions triggered. Walton’s theoretical contributions are developed coherent analytical multifaceted toolbox capturing these aspects. Argumentation schemes used to detect quantify argument. Fallacy ...
