“…Against this background, the primary motivation of this paper is to model, experiment, and analyse a number of different ways by which agents can use argumentative dialogues to resolve the aforementioned forms of conflicts that may occur between agents in a multi-agent society. In particular, this paper builds upon our previous conceptual grounding [37][38][39] and advances the state of the art in the use of argumentation in MAS in three major ways.…”

While argumentation-based negotiation has been accepted as a promising alternative to game-theoretic or heuristic-based negotiation, no evidence has been provided to confirm this theoretical advantage. We propose a model of bilateral negotiation extending a simple monotonic concession protocol by allowing the agents to exchange information about their underlying interests and possible alternatives to achieve them during the negotiation. We present an empirical study that demonstrates (through simulation) the advantages of this interest-based negotiation approach over the more classic monotonic concession approach to negotiation.

“…In agent dialogue frameworks, protocols are usually presented to determine the agents' next moves [2,15,26,36]. In this paper, we regard a protocol as a function that, given a particular type of dialogue, a specific move is returned according to its belief base and the previous moves they have already made.…”

In this paper, we propose a multi-agent framework to deal with situations involving uncertain or inconsistent information located in a distributed environment which cannot be combined into a single knowledge base. To this end, we introduce an inquiry dialogue approach based on a combination of possibilistic logic and a formal argumentation-based theory, where possibilistic logic is used to capture uncertain information, and the argumentation-based approach is used to deal with inconsistent knowledge in a distributed environment. We also modify the framework of earlier work, so that the system is not only easier to implement but also more suitable for educational purposes. The suggested approach is implemented in a clinical decision-support system in the domain of dementia diagnosis. The approach allows the physician to suggest a hypothetical diagnosis in a patient case, which is verified through the dialogue if sufficient patient information is present. If not, the user is informed about the missing information and potential inconsistencies in the information as a way to provide support for continuing medical education. The approach is presented, discussed, and applied to one scenario. The results contribute to the theory and application of inquiry dialogues in situations where the data are uncertain and inconsistent.
