Abstract

This paper provides an Integrated Argumentation Environment (IAE) for arguing agents, the system can inclusively support argumentation like an integrated environment for the software development. IAE yields three types of knowledge base designer, knowledge base editor, argument template and AMLLMA transform module and three types of argumentation visualization tools for analyzing, live argumentation viewer, argumentation and argument tree viewer. Agents can use argument which is written in Argument Markup Language (AML) as own knowledge base via transform module. Additionally IAE can launch argumentation and judge which argument is dominance in an argumentation. After the argumentation, user can also upload the argumentation via transform module to argument DB. IAE will build a bridge between research domain of natural argumentation like a computer supported argumentation visualization and formal argumentation.
