17 September 2024, The Fifth International Workshop on Systems and Algorithms for Formal Argumentation (SAFA2024), Hagen, Germany
Computational models of argumentation are approaches that deal with the representation and interaction of arguments and counterarguments. These models can be applied in all areas that benefit from automatic decision-support such as medicine, accounting, chemistry, and law. Many of these models were inspired by works within the fields of non-monotonic reasoning and logic programming and therefore share the sometimes considerable computational complexity of these approaches.
Algorithmic aspects of computational models of argumentation are an important area, as witnessed by the popularity of the International Competition on Computational Models of Argumentation (ICCMA). This workshop aims at complementing the competition by providing a forum to present and discuss both systems and algorithms dealing with all aspects of computational argumentation, in particular those approaches addressing the tracks of the competition.
This workshop welcomes technical contributions in all areas dealing with algorithms and systems of formal argument. The workshop specifically welcomes preliminary works on the above topics. In particular, no systematic evaluations are needed for inclusion in the program. Finally, we welcome position papers that propose new tracks for the competition or discuss general matters related to it.
