A Brief Overview of Research in Argumentation Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6929))

Abstract

The area of argumentation in Artificial Intelligence has been steadily growing for the last three decades. Many subareas have been delineated within it as the research expanded, giving birth to a field that is exciting, fruitful and rewarding. The challenges are many, and they are met with methods and techniques that have enriched the field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. In this paper, a short structured overview of research in the area of Argumentation Systems will be provided in order to lay a foundation for further discussion. This overview will also bring about a personal perspective of the future directions of research and development of the area.
