Bj\"orn Ebbinghaus

TL;DR
This paper explores decision-making using argumentation graphs and a software tool to facilitate student participation in university fund allocation, demonstrating positive acceptance and identifying areas for process improvement.
Contribution
It introduces a dialog-based argumentation approach combined with software for participatory decision-making in an academic setting.
Findings
Participants found the process well accepted
The procedure was successful in engaging students
Improvements to the process were identified
Abstract
This work is about making decisions by digital means. Funds should be distributed by the students of Heinrich-Heine-University. The proposals were made by the students themselves without further influence. For this purpose, dialog-based argumentation is used to give the participants a better understanding of various arguments. In addition, a software service has been developed which allows the students to express their preferences for various proposals. An experiment was carried out at the university, which should prove whether students are satisfied with this type of participation. The results indicate that the procedure is well accepted and thus successful. However, improvements to the process itself were necessary during the experiment and should be considered for future procedures. Further procedures are desired.
