title = "Towards a general framework for dialogues that accommodate reasoning about preferences",
abstract = "Argumentation theory provides foundations for distributed non- monotonic reasoning in the form of inter-agent dialogues. However current dialogue models do not accommodate reasoning about possibly conflicting preferences used in arbitrating amongst attacking arguments. We provide a framework for persuasion dialogues that accommodates such reasoning. Agents exchange locutions that implicitly define an ASPIC+ theory consisting of rules and premises. The theory{\textquoteright}s defined arguments instantiate an extended argumentation framework (EAF) that accommodates arguments claiming preferences over other arguments, so that evaluation of the EAF{\textquoteright}s justified arguments determines the outcome of the dialogue. We also evaluate the outcome of a dialogue based on the dialectical status of moves in the dialogue, propose restrictions on dialogue moves and conjecture correspondences between the two outcome definitions.",
