We’re drawing to the close of an intensive ‘Argumentation Perspectives‘ workshop here at Schloss Dagstuhl, 2.5 hours out of Frankfurt. We’ve got some of the best people working on delivering argumentation-support technology on the web and intelligent systems
We’re working in thematic groups around:
- Argumentation and the Semantic Web
- Argumentation and Multi-agent Systems
- Argumentation and Decision Support in Application Areas
- Argumentation and Social Networks
I introduced the social networks theme [slides], and both Compendium and Cohere have been in action as a medium to demonstrate and capture real time/asynchronous mapping of discussions. A publication will be out soon summarising the event, with more fully developed articles later this year.
