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) and Toulouse (2008), COMMA 2010 will be held in Desenzano del Garda in September 2010.

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)

 

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Submission deadline: 2nd April 2010

  • Notification of acceptance: 31st May 2010
