Recent advances in computational models of natural argument: Research Articles

This article reviews recent advances in the interdisciplinary area lying between artificial intelligence and the theory of argumentation. The article has two distinct foci: first, examining the ways in which argumentation has inspired new models of logical and computational intelligence, and second, exploring how AI techniques have been used and extended to model and handle real world argument in a wide variety of domains including law, education, medicine, and e-commerce. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
