Abstract

In this paper we propose a dialogue game for agents to deliberate over a proposed action. The agents' dialogue moves are defined by a structured set of argument schemes and critical questions (CQs). Thus, a dialogue move is an instantiated scheme (i.e.an argument) or a CQ (i.e.a challenge on the argument instantiated in the scheme). The proposed dialogue game formalises the protocol based exchange of arguments defined in the ProCLAIMmodel. This model provides a setting for agents to deliberate over whether, given the arguments for and against, a proposed action is justified or not.
