SOURCE SENSITIVE ARGUMENTATION SYSTEM

Abstract

There exist many approaches to agent-based conflict resolution. Of particular interest are approaches which adopt argumentation as their underlying conflict resolution machinery. In most argumentation systems, the argument source plays a minimal role. We feel that ignoring this important attribute of human argumentation reduces the capabilities of current argumentation systems. This paper focuses on the importance of sources in argumentation and extends this to the notion of credibility of agents.
