Abstract
Computation and decision problems related to argumentation frameworks with higher-order attacks have not received a lot of attention so far. This paper is a step towards these issues. First, it provides a labelling counterpart for the structure semantics of Recursive Argumentation Frameworks (RAF). Second, it investigates the complexity of decision problems associated with RAF. This investigation shows that, for the higher expressiveness offered by these enriched systems, the complexity is the same as for classical argumentation frameworks. As a side contribution, a new semantics for RAF, the semi-stable semantics, and a new process for translating RAF into Argumentation Frameworks without higher-order attacks (AF), are introduced. Finally, new notions which are the counterparts of equivalent notions already existing for AF (among them, the Strongly Connected Components — SCC) are defined and investigated in order to involve them in the future development of algorithms for computing RAF labelling semantics.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) provides an interdisciplinary forum in which AI scientists and professionals can share their research results and report new advances on AI tools or tools that use AI. Tools refer to architectures, languages or algorithms, which constitute the means connecting theory with applications. So, IJAIT is a medium for promoting general and/or special purpose tools, which are very important for the evolution of science and manipulation of knowledge. IJAIT can also be used as a test ground for new AI tools.
Topics covered by IJAIT include but are not limited to: AI in Bioinformatics, AI for Service Engineering, AI for Software Engineering, AI for Ubiquitous Computing, AI for Web Intelligence Applications, AI Parallel Processing Tools (hardware/software), AI Programming Languages, AI Tools for CAD and VLSI Analysis/Design/Testing, AI Tools for Computer Vision and Speech Understanding, AI Tools for Multimedia, Cognitive Informatics, Data Mining and Machine Learning Tools, Heuristic and AI Planning Strategies and Tools, Image Understanding, Integrated/Hybrid AI Approaches, Intelligent System Architectures, Knowledge-Based/Expert Systems, Knowledge Management and Processing Tools, Knowledge Representation Languages, Natural Language Understanding, Neural Networks for AI, Object-Oriented Programming for AI, Reasoning and Evolution of Knowledge Bases, Self-Healing and Autonomous Systems, and Software Engineering for AI.
