Towards Pragmatic Argumentative Agents within a Fuzzy Description Logic Framework
Abstract
To bring the level of current argumentation to the expressive and flexible status expected by human agents, we introduce fuzzy reasoning on top of the classical Dung abstract argumentation framework. The system is built around Fuzzy Description Logic and exploits the integration of ontologies with argumentation theory, attaining the advantage of facilitating communication of domain knowledge between agents. The formal properties of fuzzy relations are used to provide semantics to the different types of conflicts and supporting roles in the argumentation. The usefulness of the framework is illustrated in a supply chain scenario.
