Argumentation-Based Communication between Agents

One approach to agent communication is to insist that agents not only send messages, but support them with reasons why those messages are appropriate. This is argumentation-based communication. This chapter looks at some of our work on argumentation-based communication, focusing on issues which we think apply to all work in this area, and discussing what we feel are the important issues in developing systems for argumentation-based communication between agents.
