Viewpoints Using Ranking-Based Argumentation Semantics

To address the needs of the EU NoAW project, in this paper we introduce a new modular framework that generates viewpoints (i.e. extensions) based on ranking argumentation semantics by considering a selection function, a ranking on arguments and a lifting function as its input parameters. We study the different combinations of the input parameters and introduce a set of postulates investigated for the framework's different classes of output.
