We introduce an approach to cooperative dialogues as a framework for group deliberation. One of its distinguishing features is that it deals with conditional and constraint-based arguments, which are built by employing abductive and hypothetical reasoning. These kinds of arguments allow agents to use a variety of dialogue moves proper to a cooperative debate, such as argument rewrites and conditional attacks. In our approach, a group of agents develops a dialogue as they explore different lines of thought to build a group position in a yes or no decision. In essence, given a matter for discussion, the parties involved will consider arguments that either supports or rejects it and discuss such arguments to decide whether or not to accept them. To achieve that, agents will work as a team and combine their knowledge to produce more complex arguments and study possible flaws these might have.
