Abstract
In the last chapter I have announced that the adaptive modeling of Dung?s abstract argumentation framework can easily be enhanced. In order to demonstrate this I will focus in this chapter on a useful generalization of Dung?s framework proposed by Nielsen and Parsons. Their approach allows for joint attacks where an argument is attacked by a combination of several arguments.

Notes
- 1.
This is a slight modification of an examples offered by Nielsen and Parsons in [1], p. 57.
- 2.
Verheij speaks of collective and indeterministic defeats. Since defeat is a specific technical term in our logical modeling of Dung’s argumentation framework that is going to be generalized in this chapter, I choose the term attack instead of defeat.
- 3.
As in Chap. 8 I restrict the discussion to the finite case.
