CBR contributions to argumentation in MAS

Abstract

On discussing the necessary features for a group of agents to argue about their positions and intentions over a specific issue some questions arise: Why do agents interact? Is saving the knowledge generated in the interaction useful? How do agents manage arguments? How do agents dialogue? CBR is an adequate way to tackle such argumentation issues in MAS. This paper clarifies the advances achieved by applying CBR to argumentation in MAS, identifies open issues and proposes new ideas to face future challenges. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
