Argumentation = Computation + Communication (A = 2C). Argumentation is a novel and prominent apparatus to attain both communication and computation in a unifying manner since they are intrinsically related to each other. In this paper, we propose an argument-based agent system which has two unique features: (i) Reconciliation in argumentation based on the dialectical logics, and (ii) Cooperation in argumentation. In doing so, we introduce KQML-like agent communication language which is augmented by some performatives proper to the communication with which agents can make arguments, better or stronger arguments, and make cooperation to reach an agreement. We evaluate our system using argumentative dialogues.
