Abstract
Argumentation frameworks have proven to be a successful approach to formalizing commonsense reasoning. Recently, some argumentation frameworks have been extended to deal with possibilistic uncertainty, notably Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming (P-DeLP). At the same time, modelling argument accrual has gained attention from the argumentation community. Even though some preliminary formalizations have been advanced, they do not take into account possibilistic uncertainty when accruing arguments. In this paper we present a novel approach to model argument accrual in the context of P-DeLP in a constructive way.
