Overview
Argumentation is an important and exciting research topic in Artificial
Intelligence, with a broad spectrum of research activities ranging from theory
to applications. The International Conference on Computational Models of
Argument (
COMMA)
is a regular forum for presentation and exchange of the
latest research results related to computational aspects of argumentation.
After the successful editions in
Liverpool (
COMMA 2006),
Toulouse (
COMMA 2008),
and Desenzano del Garda (
COMMA 2010), COMMA 2012 will be held in Vienna,
Austria, at Vienna University of Technology.
