  • Explainable AI with Argumentation

  • Persuasion systems

  • Formal, semi-formal and informal models for argumentation

  • Properties and evaluation of formal models of argumentation

  • Computational properties of argumentation

  • Traditional and ranking-based semantics

  • Instantiations of abstract argumentation frameworks

  • Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems

  • Dialogue based on argumentation

  • Strategies in argumentation

  • Decision making based on argumentation

  • Argumentation-based negotiation

  • Argumentation, trust and reputation

  • Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation

  • Argumentation and other Artificial Intelligence techniques

  • Argumentation and game theory

  • Argumentation and probability

  • Argumentation and fuzzy-logic

  • Argumentation and narrative

  • Argumentation and computational linguistics

  • Argumentation and human-computer interaction

  • Reasoning about action and time with argumentation

  • Tools for supporting argumentation

  • Practical applications of formal models of argumentation

  • Systems for learning through argument

  • Argument-based machine learning

  • Validation and evaluation of applications of argumentation

Submission

The workshop invites two types of submissions:

  • Full papers (15 pages), possibly already submitted to other conferences or journals, and

  • Short papers (5 pages), which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects

All papers will be peer-reviewed and final copies of papers for inclusion to the conference proceedings will be published on CEUR in the AI*IA Series (Scopus indexed). Manuscripts should be formatted using the 1-column CEUR-ART Style (you can access the Overleaf template here. For more information see http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html). Papers must be submitted through EasyChair, at the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixia2021 by clicking on "make a new submission" and then selecting the "Advances In Argumentation In Artificial Intelligence" track.
