ARGAIP 2010 - ARGAIP 2010 1st Workshop on Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy: computational and philosophical perspectives

ARGAIP 2010
1st Workshop on Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy:
computational and philosophical perspectives
Brescia (Italy), December 1-3, 2010
in the context of the 11th Symposium of AI*IA (AI*IA 2010)

Call for Papers
Argumentation is an important and exciting research topic that cuts across a variety of disciplines: Philosophy, Psychology, Communications Studies and Computer Science, in particular Artificial Intelligence. In spite of the wide range of disciplines interested in Argumentation, scientific communities tend to be organized along disciplinary boundaries, with only moderate integration occurring between computational models and philosophical theories of Argumentation. This workshop aims to rectify this situation, bringing together people from various disciplines (most notably, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, and Psychology) and asking them to compare their methods and results in the study of Argumentation.
The "Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy: computational and philosophical perspectives" workshop will be hosted by the University of Brescia, Italy, in the context of the 11th Symposium on Artificial Intelligence of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA 2010), December 1-3. The expected date of the workshop, December 1, is to be confirmed (a possible change to December 2/3 depends on organizational reasons).
Submissions are invited for full papers, in English or Italian, no longer than 8 pages (including references), presenting original research on Argumentation from a philosophical and/or computational perspective (see details below). Each contribution will be reviewed.
