================================= ================================= ARGUMENTATION IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Iyad Rahwan and Guillermo R. Simari (Eds.) With a foreword by Johan van Benthem ================================= ================================= 2009, Approx. 505 p. 100 illus., Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-387-98196-3 http://www.springer.com/computer/artificial/book/978-0-387-98196-3 ABOUT THIS BOOK: This volume is a systematic, expansive presentation of the major achievements in the intersection between two fields of inquiry: Argumentation Theory and Artificial Intelligence. Contributions from international researchers who have helped shape this dynamic area offer a progressive development of intuitions, ideas and techniques, from philosophical backgrounds, to abstract argument systems, to computing arguments, to the appearance of applications producing innovative results. Each chapter features extensive examples to ensure that readers develop the right intuitions before they move from one topic to another. In particular, the book exhibits an overview of key concepts in Argumentation Theory and of formal models of Argumentation in AI. After laying a strong foundation by covering the fundamentals of argumentation and formal argument modeling, the book expands its focus to more specialized topics, such as algorithmic issues, argumentation in multi-agent systems, and strategic aspects of argumentation. Finally, as a coda, the book explores some practical applications of argumentation in AI and applications of AI in argumentation. Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence is sure to become an essential resource for graduate students and researchers working in Autonomous Agents, AI and Law, Logic in Computer Science, Electronic Governance, and Multi-agent Systems. The book is suitable both as a comprehensive introduction to the field, and also as a highly organized and accessible reference for established researchers. The book is written for researchers and postgraduate students working in artificial intelligence, AI and law, logic in computer science, electronic democracy, multi-agent systems, etc. TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1 Argumentation Theory: A Very Short Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Douglas Walton Part I Abstract Argument Systems 2 Semantics of Abstract Argument Systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 Pietro Baroni and Massimiliano Giacomin 3 Abstract Argumentation and Values . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Trevor Bench-Capon and Katie Atkinson 4 Bipolar abstract argumentation systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 Claudette Cayrol and Marie-Christine Lagasquie-Schiex 5 Complexity of Abstract Argumentation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85 Paul E.
