Credulous and Skeptical Argument Games for Complete Semantics in Conflict Resolution based Argumentation

TL;DR

This paper introduces procedural skeptical and credulous argument games for complete semantics in conflict resolution based argumentation, providing soundness, completeness, and extending to multi-context systems.

Contribution

It develops a procedural framework of argument games for complete semantics and adapts them for multi-context systems, advancing conflict resolution in argumentation.

Findings

Soundness and completeness theorems established for both games

Procedural argument games successfully model conflict resolution semantics

Extension of argument games to multi-context systems

Abstract

Argumentation is one of the most popular approaches of defining a~non-monotonic formalism and several argumentation based semantics were proposed for defeasible logic programs. Recently, a new approach based on notions of conflict resolutions was proposed, however with declarative semantics only. This paper gives a more procedural counterpart by developing skeptical and credulous argument games for complete semantics and soundness and completeness theorems for both games are provided. After that, distribution of defeasible logic program into several contexts is investigated and both argument games are adapted for multi-context system.
