Mapping persuasive dialogue games onto argumentation structures

This paper reports on some prelimary research into how software tools like InterLoc can be used as an interface to the WorldWide Argument Web (WWAW) and how the WWAW in return can provide a useful resource to agents acting within InterLoc. Two persuasive dialogue games, the human-oriented Critical Reasoning Game (CRG) from InterLoc and the philosophy-based agent-oriented game for permissive persuasion named PPD0 are compared using the Dialogue Game Description Language (DGDL) as an interlingua. The expressiveness of each game is investigated by mapping output dialogues onto argumentation structures represented in the Argument Interchange Format (AIF)
