Abstract. This paper combines two recent extensions of Dung's abstract argumenrameworks in order to define an abstract formalism for reasoning about preferences in structured ...
Dominance testing, the problem of determining whether an outcome is preferred over another, is of fundamental importance in many applications. Hence, there is a need for algorithm...
Many real life optimization problems contain both hard and soft constraints, as well as qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is no single formalism to specify all t...
