Abstract
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 more specialized topics, such as algorithmic issues, argumentation in multi-agent systems, and strategic aspects of argumentation. Finally, the volume addresses some 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.
