COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF ARGUMENT (COMMA 2012)

Vienna, Austria, September 10-12, 2012

www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/comma2012/

AIMS AND SCOPE

Argumentation is an important and exciting research topic in artificial

intelligence, with a broad spectrum of research activities ranging from

theory to applications. The International Conference on Computational

Models of Argument (COMMA) is a regular forum for presentation and

exchange of the latest research results related to computational aspects

of argumentation. After the successful editions in Liverpool (2006),

Toulouse (2008) and Desenzano del Garda (2010), COMMA 2012 will be held

in Vienna in September 2012.

TOPICS

Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Formal and informal models for argumentation

* Dialogue based on argumentation

* Strategies in argumentation

* Argumentation and game theory

* Computational properties of argumentation

* Reasoning about action and time with argumentation

* Decision making based on argumentation

* Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems

* Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation

* Argumentation-based negotiation

* Argumentation, trust and reputation

* Argumentation and human-computer interaction

* Systems for learning through argument

* Implementation of argumentation systems

* Tools for supporting argumentation

* Applications (e.g. e-democracy, risk assessment, law and medicine)
