Reaching Agreement Through Argumentation: A Possibilistic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Negotiation plays a key role as a means for sharing information and resources with the aim of looking for a common agreement. This paper proposes a new approach based on possibility theory, which integrates both the merits of argumentation-based negotiation and of heuristic methods looking for making trade-offs. Possibilistic logic is used as a unified setting, which proves to be convenient not only for representing the mental states of the agents (beliefs possibly pervaded with uncertainty, and prioritized goals), but also for revising the belief bases and for describing the decision procedure for selecting a new offer.

A Possibilistic Argumentation Decision Making Framework with Default Reasoning
In this paper, we introduce a possibilistic argumentation-based decision making framework which is able to capture uncertain information and exceptions/defaults. In particular, we define the concept of a possibilistic decision making framework which is based on a possibilistic default theory, a set of decisions and a set of prioritized goals. This set of goals captures user preferences related ...
متن کاملManaging Inconsistent Possibilistic Knowledge Bases by An Argumentation Approach
Inconsistent knowledge bases usually are regarded as an epistemic hell that have to be avoided at all costs. However, many times it is di cult or impossible to stay away of managing inconsistent knowledge bases. In this paper, we introduce an argumentation-based approach in order to manage inconsistent possibilistic knowledge bases. This approach will be exible enough for managing inconsistent ...
متن کاملModelling Argument Accrual in Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming
Argumentation frameworks have proven to be a successful approach to formalizing commonsense reasoning. Recently, some argumentation frameworks have been extended to deal with possibilistic uncertainty, notably Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming (P-DeLP). At the same time, modelling argument accrual has gained attention from the argumentation community. Even though some preliminary forma...
متن کاملModality-based Argumentation Using Possibilistic Stable Models
In many fields of automated information processing it becomes crucial to consider together imprecise, uncertain or inconsistent information. Modalities are terms which indicate the level of certainty with which a claim can be made. Argumentation theory is a suitable framework for practical and uncertain reasoning, where arguments could support conclusions. We present a modality-based argumentat...
متن کاملA Level-based Approach to Computing Warranted Arguments in Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming
Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming (P-DeLP) is an argumentation framework based on logic programming which incorporates a treatment of possibilistic uncertainty at object-language level. In P-DeLP, the closure of justified conclusions is not always consistent, which has been detected to be an anomaly in the context of so-called rationality postulates for rule-based argumentation systems...
