Project Description

The main goal of this project is computational modelling of inference processes and preference handling in multiagent systems, captured through different extensions of Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP), a logic programming language that allows to model argumentative reasoning. DeLP has been successfully used in real-world applications, but its applicatility is limited in a multiagent setting. The proposed model would allow to solve new problems in distributed settings by coordinating autonomous intelligent agents which would reason by means of argument-based inference.
