Abstract

Argumentation has gained popularity in AI in recent years to support several activities and forms of reasoning. This talk will trace back the logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning origins of two well-known argumentation formalisms in AI (namely abstract argumentation and assumption-based argumentation). Finally, the talk will discuss recent developments in AI making use of computational argumentation, in particular to support collaborative decision making.
