On the bipolarity in argumentation frameworks

In this paper, we propose a survey of the use of bipolarity in argumentation frameworks, i.e. the presence of two kinds of entities (a positive entity and a negative entity). An argumentation process follows three steps: building the arguments and the interactions between them, valuating the arguments using or not the interactions and finally defining the acceptability of the arguments. This paper shows on various applications and with some formal definitions that bipolarity appears (in some cases since always) and can be used in each step of this process under different forms.
