Analysing the PDDL Language for Argumentation-Based Negotiation Planning

In this paper, we explore the usage of the well-known Planning Domain Description Language (PDDL) to model the argumentation-based negotiation planning. Particularly, we analyse how to define a problem planning for argumentation plan generation by using the PDDL language. Finally, we present a case study to illustrate our work, and analyse the pros and cons of this approach.
