Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence examines the intersection between two fields of inquiry: Argumentation Theory and Artificial Intelligence. This book presents an overview of key concepts in argumentation theory and of formal models of argumentation in AI. Beginning with a review of the foundational issues in argumentation and formal argument modeling, the book then moves to morespecialized topics, such as algorithmic issues, argumentation in multi-agent systems, and strategic aspects of argumentation. Finally, the volume addressessome practical applications of argumentation in AI and applications of AI in argumentation. Extensive examples are also provided to ensure that readers develop the right intuitions before they move from one topic to another. Knowledge of elementary logic is required, but the text contains an appendix furnishing such preliminaries. A confluence of deep exposition and comprehensive exploration by leading researchers of the underlying themes in the various areas of Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence A progressive development of intuitions, ideas and techniques, starting from philosophical backgrounds, to abstractargument systems, to computing arguments Hot topics on argumentation in multi-agent systems, including examples INDICE: Part 1: Introduction: Argumentation Theory: A Very Short Introduction.- Part 2: Abstract Argument Systems: Semantics of Abstract Argument Systems.- Abstract Arguments with Preferences.- Abstract Arguments with Values.- Complexity of Abstract Argumentation.- Part 3: Arguments with Structure: Assumption-based Argumentation.- Argument-based Logic Programming.- Arguing with the Toulmin Scheme.- Part 4: Argumentation in Multi-Agent Systems: Dialogue Games for Agent Argumentation.- Models of Persuasion Dialogue.- Part 5: Applications:Argumentation in OSCAR.- Argumentation for Supporting Legal Reasoning.- The Argument Interchange Format (and the Semantic Web).- Recommender Systems.- Arguing on the Semantic Grid.- Appendix: Logical Preliminaries.- Index.
