TLDR
This paper defines two important rationality postulates that should be satisfied: the consistency and the closure of the results returned by a rule-based argumentation system and provides a relatively easy way in which these rationality postulate can be warranted for a particular rule- based argumentation System developed within a European project on argumentation.

Argumentation in artificial intelligence

TL;DR: A number of foundational contributions provided the basis for the formulation of argumentation models and their promotion in AI related settings and then a number of new themes that have emerged in recent years are considered, many of which provide the principal topics of the research presented in this volume.

An abstract framework for argumentation with structured arguments

TL;DR: An abstract framework for structured arguments is presented, which instantiates Dung's (‘On the Acceptability of Arguments and its Fundamental Role in Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Logic Programming, and n-Person Games’, Artificial Intelligence, 77, 321–357) abstract argumentation frameworks.

RESEARCH ARTICLE An abstract framework for argumentation with structured arguments

Henry Prakken
TL;DR: In this article, an abstract framework for structured arguments is presented that instantiates Dung's (1995) abstract argumentation frameworks, where arguments are defined as inference trees formed by applying two kinds of inference rules: strict and defeasible rules.

Review: an introduction to argumentation semantics

TL;DR: The paper presents an extensive set of general properties for semantics evaluation and analyzes the notions of argument justification and skepticism, and discusses some relationships between semantics properties and domain-specific requirements.

Semi-Stable Semantics

TL;DR: This paper examines an argument-based semantics called Semi-stable semantics, which is quite close to traditional stable semantics in the sense that every stable extension is also a semi-stable extension.

On the acceptability of arguments and its fundamental role in nonmonotonic reasoning, logic programming and n -person games

TL;DR: By showing that argumentation can be viewed as a special form of logic programming with negation as failure, this paper introduces a general logic-programming-based method for generating meta-interpreters for argumentation systems, a method very much similar to the compiler-compiler idea in conventional programming.

Negation as failure

TL;DR: It is shown that when the clause data base and the queries satisfy certain constraints, which still leaves us with a data base more general than a conventional relational data base, the query evaluation process will find every answer that is a logical consequence of the completed data base.

Defeasible logic programming: an argumentative approach

TL;DR: The work reported here introducesdefeasible Logic Programming (DeLP), a formalism that combines results of Logic Programming and Defeasible Argumentation and a defeasible argumentation inference mechanism for warranting the entailed conclusions.

Persuasion in Practical Argument Using Value-based Argumentation Frameworks

TL;DR: It is shown that in a VAF certain arguments can be shown to be acceptable however the relative strengths of the values involved are assessed, which means that disputants can concur on the acceptance of arguments, even when they differ as to which values are more important, and hence that the possibility of persuasion should be possible.

An abstract, argumentation-theoretic approach to default reasoning

TL;DR: An abstract framework for default reasoning, which includes Theorist, default logic, logic programming, autoepistemic logic, non-monotonic modal logics, and certain instances of circumscription as special cases, is presented and a more liberal, argumentation-theoretic semantics is proposed, based upon the notion of admissible extension in logic programming.
