Abstract
The work reported here introduces DefPlanner, an argumentation-based partial-order planner where different agents that have a partial, and possibly contradictory, knowledge of the world articulate arguments for and against supporting preconditions of the actions to be included in a plan. In this paper, we introduce an extension to multiple agents of the defeasible argumentation formalism that has been proposed to address the task of planning in a single agent environment.
