Call For Papers AI^3 2020 4th Workshop on Advances In Argumentation In Artificial Intelligence ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This year, the workshop is a track of AIxIA 2020 (reboot), the 19th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence Anywhere, that will be held virtually, from the 25th to the 27th of November 2020. AI^3 Workshop Webpage: http://events.dimes.unical.it/ai3-2020 == Important Dates == Paper submission deadline: September 20th, 2020 (11:59PM UTC-12) Notification to authors: October 16th, 2020 Camera-Ready submission: October 30th, 2020 Submission of video and slides of the presentation: November 10th, 2020 Conference and Workshop days: from 25th to 27th November 2020 ==Aims & Scope== Argumentation is the study of the processes and activities involving the production and exchange of arguments, where arguments are attempts to persuade someone or something by giving reasons for accepting a particular conclusion as evident. As such, argumentation provides procedures for making and explaining decisions and is able to capture diverse kinds of reasoning and dialogue activities in a formal but still intuitive way, enabling the integration of different specific techniques and the development of trustable applications. For these reasons, over the last two decades formal argumentation has become a main research topic in Artificial Intelligence. Given that the study of argumentation is inherently interdisciplinary, the goal of the workshop is to stimulate discussions and promote scientific collaboration among researchers involved in the field of argumentation from different perspectives, including computational, linguistic, philosophical and psychological aspects. Besides researchers having argumentation as a major research interest, scholars from research fields indirectly related to argumentation (including non-monotonic reasoning, logic programming, linguistics, natural language processing, philosophy and psychology, just to mention a few of them) are particularly welcome, both to discuss foundations and issues in argumentation, and to present challenges and problems for which argumentation may represent a viable AI paradigm. We invite submissions of the latest research results concerning applications and theory of computational argumentation to the 4th Workshop on Advances In Argumentation In Artificial Intelligence (AI3 2020) that is a track of the 19th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIIA 2020). The workshop is promoted by the Argumentation in Artificial Intelligence Working Group (https://sites.google.com/a/aixia.it/argomentazione/) Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Explainable AI with Argumentation Persuasion systems Formal, semi-formal and informal models for argumentation Properties and evaluation of formal models of argumentation Computational properties of argumentation Traditional and ranking-based semantics Instantiations of abstract argumentation frameworks Implementation of argumentation systems Relationships amongst different argumentation frameworks Philosophical theories of argumentation Argument mining Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems Dialogue based on argumentation Strategies in argumentation Decision making based on argumentation Argumentation-based negotiation Argumentation, trust and reputation Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation Argumentation and other Artificial Intelligence techniques Argumentation and game theory Argumentation and probability Argumentation and fuzzy-logic Argumentation and narrative Argumentation and computational linguistics Argumentation and human-computer interaction Reasoning about action and time with argumentation Tools for supporting argumentation Practical applications of formal models of argumentation Systems for learning through argument Argument-based machine learning Validation and evaluation of applications of argumentation == Submissions == The workshop invites two types of submissions: full papers, possibly already submitted to other conferences or journals, and short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. Authors are invited to submit their papers in English of up to 15 single spaced pages for full papers. Shorter works must not exceed 5 pages. All paper submissions will be done electronically, via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixia2020 by selecting the track “Advances In Argumentation In Artificial Intelligence”. All papers will be peer reviewed and final copies of papers for inclusion to the conference proceedings will be published on CEUR as “CEUR Workshop Proceedings AI*IA Series” (Scopus indexed). Manuscripts should be formatted using the Springer LNCS style (formatting instructions are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). ==Post-proceedings of selected and revised papers== Authors of selected papers, accepted to the workshops, will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their work to appear in a volume, published by an important international publisher. A selection of the best papers, accepted for the presentation at the workshops, will be invited to submit an extended version for publication on “intelligenza Artificiale”, the International Journal of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, edited by IOS Press and indexed by Thomson Reuters’ “Emerging Sources Citation Index” and Scopus by Elsevier. ==Format of the video presentations== Authors of accepted papers at the workshops will be requested to provide a video recorded presentation of their work. Presentations will be available to all members of the association. Videos must have a length between 5 and 8 minutes. More details will be published in the workshop web page ( http://events.dimes.unical.it/ai3-2020 ). == Organization == AI^3 Workshop Chairs Bettina Fazzinga, ICAR-CNR, Rende (CS), Italy - fazzinga@icar.cnr.it Filippo Furfaro, DIMES - Università della Calabria, Rende (CS), Italy - furfaro@dimes.unical.it Francesco Parisi, DIMES - Università della Calabria, Rende (CS), Italy - fparisi@dimes.unical.it
