Abstract

A Logic of Multiple-valued Argumentation (LMA) was formalized by Takahashi and Sawamura on an expressive knowledge representation language, Extended Annotated Logic Programming (EALP). LMA allows agents to construct arguments under uncertain knowledge and to argue with other agents on uncertain issues in the open networked heterogeneous environment. In this paper, we demonstrate its expressiveness and applicability through implementing it in a networked environment and applying it to diverse uncertain domains in which decision-making is sought in an argumentative way. We then show that it is the diversity of truth values in LMA that allows for an extensive applicability of it.
