“…Moreover, it is possible for two people (or agents) to agree upon a goal to be achieved, but the reasons for which they want to achieve it may be very different due to their contrasting value sets. Such use of argument based on [198] values has also been featured in other computational work such as Bench-capon and Sartor (2003), Grasso et al (2000), Gordon and Karacapilidis (1997) and Jarke et al (1987). We believe that the distinction between the different aspects described above is an important factor in practical reasoning situations where the precise points of contention on an issue should be distinguishable and identifiable.…”

“…In both, Dung (1995) and Bench-Capon (2003), the use of preferred semantics gives rise to the possibility of different but defensible choices, thus accommodating the possibility of rational disagreement. These issues have also been addressed in systems designed to mediate human to human dialogues, such as Brewka and Gordon (1994), Gordon and Karacapilidis (1997), Jarke et al (1987) and Lührs et al (2003). Doutre et al (2005) address the second issue and define a dialogue which allows value preferences to emerge from the dialogue.…”

ABSTRACT. In this paper we consider persuasion in the context of practical reasoning, and discuss the problems associated with construing reasoning about actions in a manner similar to reasoning about beliefs. We propose a perspective on practical reasoning as presumptive justification of a course of action, along with critical questions of this justification, building on the account of Walton. From this perspective, we articulate an interaction protocol, which we call PARMA, for dialogues over proposed actions based on this theory. We outline an axiomatic semantics for the PARMA Protocol, and discuss two implementations which use this protocol to mediate a discussion between humans. We then show how our proposal can be made computational within the framework of agents based on the Belief-Desire-Intention model, and illustrate this proposal with an example debate within a multi agent system.

This paper critically analyses the nature and state of decision support systems (DSS) research. To provide context for the analysis, a history of DSS is presented which focuses on the evolution of a number of sub-groupings of research and practice: personal decision support systems, group support systems, negotiation support systems, intelligent decision support systems, knowledge managementbased DSS, executive information systems/business intelligence, and data warehousing. To understand the state of DSS research an empirical investigation of published DSS research is presented. This investigation is based on the detailed analysis of 1,020 DSS articles published in 14 major journals from 1990 to 2003. The analysis found that DSS publication has been falling steadily since its peak in 1994 and the current publication rate is at early 1990s levels. Other findings include that personal DSS and group support systems dominate research activity and data warehousing is the least published type of DSS. The journal DSS is the major publishing outlet; US 'Other' journals dominate DSS publishing and there is very low exposure of DSS in European journals. Around two-thirds of DSS research is empirical, a much higher proportion than general IS research. DSS empirical research is

Decision support systems can play a role in improving the ability of decision makers to act as utility maximizers in crisis situations. This paper demonstrates the ability of one such decision support system, GENIE, to help decision makers maximize their objectives in a crisis negotiation. GENIE is described in detail, followed by the presentation of preliminary experimental results evaluating its effectiveness in crisis management and abatement. The experimental results show that GENIE users, as compared to non-users, are more likely to identify utility maximization as their primary objective and to achieve high utility scores. Experiments in which GENIE users participate are also more likely to end in agreement among thc parties, rather than in an outcome in which one of the parties opts out of the negotiation.
