Title: Third Workshop on Argumentation in Multi-Agent Systems
Editor: Nicolas Maudet, Simon Parsons, and Iyad Rahwan
Year: 2006
Abstract: Argumentation can be abstractly defined as the interaction of different arguments for and againse some conclusion. Over the last few yuears, argumentation has been gaining increasing importance in multi-agent systems, mainly as a vehicle for facilitating "rational interaction" (i.e., interaction which involves the giving and receiving of reasons). This is because argumentation provides tools for designing, implementing and analysing sophisticated forms of interaction among rational agents. Argumentation has made solid contributions to the practice of multi-agent dialogues. Application domains include: legal disputes, business negotiation, labor disputes, team formation, scientific inquiry, deliberative democracy, ontology reconsiliation, risk analysis, scheduling, and logistics. A single agent may also use argumentation techniques to perform its individual reasoning because it needs to make decisions under comples preference policies, in a highly dynamic environment. The workshop is concerned with the use of the concepts, theories, methodologies, and computational models of argumentation in building autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.
