===============================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Argumentation is an exciting research topic in artificial
intelligence, with a broad spectrum of research activities ranging from
theory to applications. The International Conference on Computational
Models of Argument (COMMA) is a regular forum for presentation and
exchange of the latest research results related to computational aspects
of argumentation. After the successful editions in Liverpool (2006);
Toulouse (2008); Desenzano del Garda (2010); and Vienna (2012); COMMA
2014 will be held in Scotland in September 2014.
TOPICS
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Formal, semi-formal and informal models for argumentation
* Dialogue based on argumentation
* Strategies in argumentation
* Argumentation and game theory
* Argumentation and probability
* Argumentation and narrative
* Analogical argumentation
* Computational properties of argumentation
* Reasoning about action and time with argumentation
* Decision making based on argumentation
* Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems
* Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation
* Argumentation-based negotiation
* Argumentation, trust and reputation
* Argument mining
* Argumentation and computational linguistics
* Argumentation and human-computer interaction
* Systems for learning through argument
* Implementation of argumentation systems
* Tools for supporting argumentation
SPECIAL TRACK: INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS
In addition to papers about theoretical results (in the conference's regular track),
we encourage the submission of original papers about innovative applications,
e.g., in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment, intelligent user
interfaces, recommender systems. Innovative applications papers will be
assessed in an equally rigorous reviewing procedure as regular track
papers.
DEMONSTRATIONS
As in the previous edition, a session will be organized for the demonstration
of innovative working applications and tools. Systems of interest include
(but are not limited to):
* Innovative applications in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment,
intelligent user interfaces, recommender systems
* Argumentation-based reasoners
* Systems for generating arguments from knowledge bases
* Systems for editing, presenting and judging arguments and counterarguments
* Collaborative and social systems based on argumentation
* Simulations of dialogue-based argumentation
* Argumentation-based agents and multi-agent systems
* Decision support systems based on argumentation
All those intending to demonstrate a system should notify the
demonstrations coordinator (Federico Cerutti).
Where a demonstration is not connected to a paper in a track, a two page
extended abstract about the system must be submitted for review. Accepted
extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings.
For those demonstrations that are connected to a paper in the standard
track or innovative applications track, no separate statement about
the demonstration should be submitted.
SUBMISSIONS
We invite submission of original and unpublished work. Parallel
submission to journals or other conferences or workshops with
published proceedings is not permitted.
Paper submission will be managed through EasyChair. Submission
sites for regular, innovative applications track and extended demonstrator
abstracts will open on March 1st.
Page limits for all paper types are as follows.
- Regular track papers (max. 12 pages)
- Innovative applications track papers (max. 12 pages)
- Demonstration extended abstract (max. 2 pages)
Authors should prepare their submission following the instructions by IOS Press.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: March 30, 2014
(regular and innovative applications
track)
Demonstration extended abstract
submission deadline: April 15, 2014
Review rebuttal phase: May 7 - 9, 2014
Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2014
Final version of accepted papers: June 15, 2014
PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings for the conference will be published by IOS Press in
the "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications" series.
The length of regular track and innovative applications track papers
should not exceed 12 pages, the length of demonstration extended
abstracts should not exceed 2 pages.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
A best student paper award will be awarded.
