We introduce and investigate a natural extension of Dung's well-known model of argument
systems in which attacks are associated with a weight, indicating the relative strength of the …

Argument Systems provide a rich abstraction within which divers concepts of reasoning,
acceptability and defeasibility of arguments, etc., may be studied using a unified framework. Two …

The semantic models discussed in Chapter 11 provide an important element of the formal
computational theory of abstract argumentation. Such models offer a variety of interpretations …

One difficulty that arises in abstract argument systems is that many natural questions regarding
argument acceptability are, in general, computationally intractable having been classified …

In this article, we examine an argument-based semantics called semi-stable semantics.
Semi-stable semantics is quite close to traditional stable semantics in the sense that every stable …
