Developing Argumentation Dialogues for Open Multi-Agent Systems

Dialogue systems attempt to capture aspects of multi-agent communication with the aim of understanding, improving, and automatically recreating such communication. Though there is ample research into the formal aspects of dialogue games for argumentation, actual software and development tools that allow for the deployment of open, multiagent dialogue environments are lacking. This demo presents the first steps towards a development framework for an open multi-agent system in which agents can engage in peer-to-peer argumentation dialogues.
