4th International Conference on
COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF ARGUMENT (COMMA 2012)
Vienna, Austria, September 10-12, 2012
www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/comma2012/
===============================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Argumentation is an important and exciting research topic in artificial
intelligence, with a broad spectrum of research activities ranging from
theory to applications. The International Conference on Computational
Models of Argument (COMMA) is a regular forum for presentation and
exchange of the latest research results related to computational aspects
of argumentation. After the successful editions in Liverpool (2006),
Toulouse (2008) and Desenzano del Garda (2010), COMMA 2012 will be held
in Vienna in September 2012.
TOPICS
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Formal and informal models for argumentation
* Dialogue based on argumentation
* Strategies in argumentation
* Argumentation and game theory
* Computational properties of argumentation
* Reasoning about action and time with argumentation
* Decision making based on argumentation
* Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems
* Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation
* Argumentation-based negotiation
* Argumentation, trust and reputation
* Argumentation and human-computer interaction
* Systems for learning through argument
* Implementation of argumentation systems
* Tools for supporting argumentation
* Applications (e.g. e-democracy, risk assessment, law and medicine)
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: March 26, 2012
Notification of acceptance: May 23, 2012
Final version of accepted papers: June 20, 2012
