A Formalisation of Abstract Argumentation in Higher-Order Logic

Artificial Intelligence 2021-10-19 v1 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

We present an approach for representing abstract argumentation frameworks based on an encoding into classical higher-order logic. This provides a uniform framework for computer-assisted assessment of abstract argumentation frameworks using interactive and automated reasoning tools. This enables the formal analysis and verification of meta-theoretical properties as well as the flexible generation of extensions and labellings with respect to well-known argumentation semantics.
