Abstract

In social networks every user could act as an individual recommender for its neighbours. However, the information spread across the network change quickly over time. There is a need for a recommendation mechanism able to manage this dynamicity and to provide users with up-to-date and suitable recommendations. This paper proposes a well-known concept of argumentation theory, dialogue games, as a mechanism to manage collaborative recommendation in social networks. Dialogue games allow agents to argue about several available recommendations and thus, to get better results from the recommendation process.
