Argumentation Schemes for Collaborative Planning
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 14th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA '11): Agents in Principle, Agents in Practice, pp. 323 - 335, November, 2011
Abstract
We address the collaborative planning problem among agents where they have different objectives and norms. In this context, agreeing on the best course of action to adopt represents a significant challenge. Concurrent actions and causal plan-constraints may lead to conflicts of opinion on what to do. Moreover, individual norms can constrain agent behaviour. We propose an argumentation-based model for deliberative dialogues based on argumentation schemes. This model facilitates agreements about joint plans by enriching the quality of the dialogue through the exchange of relevant information about plan commitments and norms.
