Argument and Computation aims to promote the interaction and cross-fertilisation between the fields of argumentation theory and computer science. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, computer science, logic, philosophy, argumentation theory, psychology, cognitive science, game theory and economics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Argumentation and cognitive architecturesArgumentation and computational game theoryArgumentation and defeasible reasoningArgumentation and nonmonotonic logicsArgumentation and Decision TheoryArgumentation and Logic ProgrammingArgumentation and game semanticsSoftware for teaching argumentation skillsArgumentation-based interaction protocolsArgumentation-based semantics of programsArgumentation in natural language processingArgumentation in human computer interactionArgumentation in multi-agent systemsComputational models of natural argumentDialogue games and conversation policiesDispute resolution and mediation systemsElectronic democracy and public deliberationLegal and medical applicationsModels of bargaining and economic interactionReasoning about action through argumentationComputational tools for argumentation support In order to distinguish itself from the competition, the new journal will not solicit papers that are wholly within the theory of argumentation without application (practical or theoretical) with in artificial intelligence or computer science, nor will it solicit computational work that fails to employ argumentation as a core focus.The journal will accept full articles, describing novel theoretical or applied research in any of the areas of interest; reviews, condensing and critiquing an appropriate subfield of research; system descriptions, focusing on implementations (typically offering online access or downloadable code) and letters, providing pithy polemic on burning issues.
