Argument and Computation

Scope

Argument & Computation (A&C) is an open access journal providing a dedicated venue for the dissemination of high quality papers concerning state-of-the-art advancements in the field of computational argumentation. A&C stands as an interdisciplinary journal by nature, lying at the crossing of the studies on artificial, natural and theoretical argumentation, acknowledging the richness of diversity and promoting integration. The journal welcomes submissions presenting original scientific results and innovative applications, relevant to this multi-faceted domain and addressing foundational, design, or implementation aspects of computational models and systems thereof, extending the state-of-the-art in research. Proposals for timely reviews and tutorials and for special issues are encouraged and should be discussed with the Editors-in-Chief. Topics of interest are exemplified, but not exhausted, by the following list: Formal models for argumentation Semi-formal and informal models for argumentation Dialogue based on argumentation Argumentation and computational linguistics Argumentation and defeasible reasoning Argumentation and game theory Argumentation and probability Argumentation and logic programming Argumentation and narrative Analogical argumentation Reasoning about action and time with argumentation Decision making based on argumentation Strategies in argumentation Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation Argument-based negotiation, dispute resolution and mediation Argumentation, trust and reputation Argumentation and normative systems Argumentation and human-computer interaction Argumentation and machine learning Argumentation and explainable AI Computational properties of argumentation systems Implementation of argumentation systems Tools for supporting and teaching argumentation Innovative applications based on argumentation.
