A General Account of Argumentation and Preferences

<22>This paper sets out the key elements of the ASPIC+ general framework for argumentation. The framework subsumes a number of key existing logic-based approaches to argumentation, and is the first to identify conditions under which these logic based approaches can instantiate a Dung’s framework, such that the results of argumentation to resolve conflicts, satisfies key rationality postulates when accounting for the use of preference information. ASPIC+ is emerging as a standard for the community of argumentation researchers; e.g., Reed's argumentation group at Dundee are using ASPIC+ as the formal foundation for a number of applications (http://www.arg.dundee.ac.uk/).
