Full Acceptance through Argumentation -a Preliminary Report

When an agent receives new pieces of information , these may contradict his previous beliefs. The agent must decide how to solve this contradiction. Most frameworks dealing with the problem of belief revision attach higher priority to incoming information, i.e., they may give up some part of the old beliefs in order to accommodate the new piece of information and keep consistency. In this paper, we propose the use of argumentation theory to decide whether incoming information should be accepted or not.
