Critical Question Formalization for an Argumentation Scheme about Plans. Technical Report

Rolando Medellin-Gasque, Katie Atkinson and Trevor Bench-Capon

Abstract

Planning agents that share a common goal should be able to propose, justify and share information about plans in a structured way. We present in this report the formalization of an argumentation scheme and associated critical questions to create and justify plan proposals where plans are combinations of actions requiring several agents for their execution. We believe these elements are necessary to enable agents to engage in rational debate over co-operative plan proposals.
