Stable Extensions in Timed Argumentation Frameworks

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 7132)

Abstract

A Timed Abstract Argumentation Framework is a novel formalism where arguments are only valid for consideration in a given period of time, which is defined for every individual argument. Thus, the attainability of attacks and defenses is related to time, and the outcome of the framework may vary accordingly. In this work we study the notion of stable extensions applied to timed-arguments. The framework is extended to include intermittent arguments, which are available with some repeated interruptions in time.

Keywords

  • Abstract Argumentation
  • Argumentation Framework
  • Nonmonotonic Reasoning
  • Prefer Extension
  • Stable Extension

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
