A Semantic Enhanced Framework for Argumentation Based Group Decision Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
By an effective Group Decision Support System (GDSS) group members can be supported to identify the problem, form possible actions, resolve the conflict and achieve the joint goals. Throughout such a group decision making process, argumentation is widely regarded as a good means to propose the ideas, justify possible alternatives and convince others to achieve group consensus. In this paper, argumentation is incorporated into group decision making through semantic approach and a semantic enhanced framework is proposed for argumentation based group decision support. In this framework, argumentative elements are semantically represented, group decision making is computationally modelled, and decision tasks are heuristically evolved. Moreover, a prototype of argumentation based GDSS using the proposed semantic model is developed, and a group decision experiment is conducted to demonstrate the system’s effectiveness.

Mixed-Initiative Argumentation: Group Decision Support in Medicine
This paper identifies ways in which traditional approaches to argumentation can be modified to meet the needs of practical group decision support. Three specific modifications are proposed. Firstly, a framework for accrual-based argumentation is presented. Second, a framework for outcome-driven decision rationale management is proposed that permits a novel conception of mixed-initiative argumen...

The framework is evaluated in the context of group decision support in medicine.

In this talk I will provide an overview of Computational Argumentation, focusing on two wellknown and widely used approaches, namely abstract argumentation and assumption-based argumentation, and their possible uses in Web contexts, and in particular the Semantic Web and Social Networks. For both forms of Computational Argumentation, I will outline potential extensions required to meet the chal...
متن کاملComputer-Mediated Collaborative Decision Making: Theoretical and Implementation Issues
Development of systems for computer-mediated Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) attracts increasing interest from various research areas. Although some approaches provide a cognitive argumentation environment and methods to structure the related discussions, they lack consensus seeking and decision making capabilities. In addition, the majority of them is not based on a well defined set of use...
متن کاملPolarisation assessment in an intelligent argumentation system using fuzzy clustering algorithm for collaborative decision support
We developed an on-line intelligent argumentation system which facilitates stakeholders in exchanging dialogues. It provides decision support by capturing stakeholders’ rationale through arguments. As part of the argumentation process, stakeholders tend to both polarise their opinions and form polarisation groups. The challenging issue of assessing argumentation polarisation had not been addres...
