Various applications of argumentation (cyber-democracy, explainable AI, law, medicine, multi-agent systems, public policy making, sustainable development, etc) exist, which benefit from the advances on the theoretical aspects of argumentation, while highlighting new theoretical issues. An important aspect of research on applied argumentation is the development of software related to these argumentation formalisms. The goal of this workshop is to emphasize the efforts of the community to strengthen the links between formal works on argumentation, their implementations and these domains of application.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">The workshop specifically welcomes preliminary works on the above topics, more particularly on:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Experimental evaluation methods for argument-based applications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* User-oriented evaluation and empirical testing of argument-based applications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Argumentation and online disinformation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Web-based systems and argument mining<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Dialogue systems and strategic aspects of argumentation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Design principles and software engineering aspects of tools for formal argumentation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Benchmark generation and empirical studies on real-world argumentation graphs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* System descriptions of tools for formal argumentation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Argumentation in multi-agent systems<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Argumentation and law<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">* Argumentation and medicine<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(29, 29, 29);">The program of the workshop will be made of one invited talk, followed by a series of contributed talks selected through single-blind peer review.
