Argumentation-based framework for industrial wastewater discharges management

A systematic review of argumentation techniques for multi-agent systems research

“…Other interesting application fields are virtual organisations, reasoning with incomplete and conflicting information (Janjua and Hussain 2012), analysing emotional factors (Marreiros et al 2005), deciding whether or not a person can apply for a specific benefit with a set of restrictions (Wardeh et al 2012), for credit assignment (Pashaei et al 2014), to building reputation models (Hsairi et al 2010), conflict resolution in supply chains (Hsairi et al 2006) and building ambient intelligent systems (Moraitis and Spanoudakis 2007). In industrial management, these techniques are applied in management systems for multiple tasks, such as to decide the way to dry an oven in automobile production (Ye et al (2005), Tang and Parsons (2005) 2010), to manage waste-water discharges (Aulinas et al 2012), to decide about an automatic freight process (Chow et al 2013) or to improve the performance of transport systems in rural areas (Velaga et al 2012). Knowledge engineering is another interesting field in which some studies apply argumentation techniques for different tasks, such as to make automatic matching among existing ontologies or knowledge bases (Maio et al 2011;Maio and Silva 2014) or to discuss about a particular issue in medical guidelines (Grando et al 2012).…”

“…Based on the included studies in the review, the most commonly used technique is rulebased inference (Hsairi et al 2006;Gaertner and Toni 2007;Moraitis and Spanoudakis 2007;Yuan et al 2009;Obeid and Moubaiddin 2009;Caiquan et al 2010;Tannai et al 2011;Xiong et al 2012;Harvey et al 2007;Huang and Lin 2010;Janjua and Hussain 2012;Wardeh et al 2012;Rowe et al 2012;van der Weide et al 2011). However, there are other techniques that must not be ignored because they offer other alternatives to reason under uncertainty, such as fuzzy logic Hsairi et al 2010;Chow et al 2013;Wang and Luo 2010;Tao et al 2014;Bedi and Vashisth 2014) Vicari et al 2003), to reason based on similarity, such as CBR Aulinas et al 2012;), or to measure the benefit of a specific action using utility functions (Ge et al 2010).…”

An ontological-based knowledge-representation formalism for case-based argumentation

“…However, argument-cases have a more specialised description for these components (ArgumentProblem, ArgumentSolution, and ArgumentJustification), which includes an extended set of properties. 4 ∀ hasCreationDate.Date ∀hasCreationDate − . (Case ArgumentationScheme) 3 As indicated previously, argumentation schemes represent stereotyped patterns of common reasoning in the application domain where the framework is implemented.…”

Input-occupancy-output analysis of industrial wastewater discharge coefficients and backward and forward linkages: Multi-regional occupancy

“…In the 20th century, the Minamata disease event and the Itai-itai disease event in Japan were two of the eight public environmental events in the world that were caused by pollution from industrial wastewater discharges. The majority of studies thus far have focused on the technical treatment [7,8] and the forecasting [9−11] of industrial wastewater discharge. A statement on the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection website declares that the authorities of 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are required to complete 242 projects on industrial wastewater discharge reduction in 2014 [12] .…”
