Abstract

Despite the important advances in the argumentation theory, it is difficult to find infrastructures of argumentation offering support for agent societies and their social context. Offering support for agent societies allows to represent more realistic environments to have argumentation dialogues. We propose an infrastructure to develop and execute argumentative agents in an open Multi-Agent System. This infrastructure offers the tools to develop agents with argumentation capabilities, including the communication skills and the argumentation protocol. It also offers support for agent societies and their social context.
