Abstract
Argumentation schemes are patterns of non-deductive reasoning that have long been studied in argumentation theory, and have more recently been identified in computational domains including multi-agent systems as holding the potential for significant improvements in reasoning and communication abilities. By focusing on models of natural language argumentation schemes, and then building formal systems from them, direct implementation becomes possible that not only has advantages in flexibility and scope, but also computational efficiency.
