ON THE EXPLOITATION OF COLLABORATIVE ARGUMENTATION STRUCTURES FOR INDUCING REASONING BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Contemporary collaborative argumentation support systems provide limited or no support in analyzing and inducing their users’ reasoning behavior. This article discusses the empowerment of such systems towards this direction through an innovative approach, which is based on the assessment of similar argumentation sequences. Representative cases where the proposed approach may be used to capture the users’ behavior, improve their collaboration and increase the argumentation support system’s awareness are examined.
