Call For Papers

============



The Third International Workshop on Theory and Applications of Formal Argumentation (TAFA 2015) will be co-located with IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires, and builds on the success of the previous two iterations of the workshop. The workshop is inspired by the recent rapid growth of interest in formal models of argumentation and their application in diverse sub-fields and domains of application of Artificial Intelligence. TAFA 2015 aims to further foster uptake of argumentation as a viable AI paradigm with wide ranging application by providing a forum for further development of existing ideas and for the initiation of new and innovative collaborations.



TAFA 2015 therefore encourages submission of papers on formal theoretical models of argumentation and their application in (sub-fields of) AI, and on the evaluation of models of argumentation, both theoretical (in terms of formal properties) and practical (in concretely developed applications). We particularly encourage work on theories and applications developed through inter-disciplinary collaborations. The First International Competition on Computational Models of Argumentation (ICCMA) will be co-located with TAFA-15.



The workshop will solicit papers dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:



  *   Properties of formal models of argumentation

  *   Instantiations of abstract argumentation frameworks

  *   Relationships amongst different argumentation frameworks

  *   Practical applications of formal models of argumentation

  *   Argumentation and other Artificial Intelligence techniques

  *   Evaluation of formal models of argumentation

  *   Validation and evaluation of applications of argumentation



As in 2011 and 2013, selected papers will be published in a LNAI post-proceedings.

==================



Submission to the workshop will take place via the EasyChair system, and will be anonymously reviewed.
