Abstract

This paper presents an argumentation-based approach to deliberation, the process by which two or more agents reach a consensus on a course of action. The kind of deliberation we are interested in combines both the selection of an overall goal, the reduction of this goal into sub-goals, and the formation of a plan to achieve the overall goal. We develop a mechanism for doing this and then proceed to describe how it can be integrated into a system of argumentation to provide a sound and complete deliberation system, before showing how the same process can be achieved through a multi-agent dialogue.
