Abstract

Work on argumentation-based dialogue systems often assumes that the adoption of argumentation leads to improved efficiency and effectiveness. Several studies have taken an experimental approach to prove these alleged benefits, but none has so far supported the expressiveness of a logic for structured argumentation. This paper shows how the use of argumentation in deliberation dialogues can be tested while supporting goal-based agents that use the ASPIC framework for structured argumentation.
