Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The role of logic in computer science is now well-known. On the other hand, people who belong to the field of human and social sciences have started an informal logic that mainly consists of argumentation, fallacy theory and rhetoric. They have been unfortunately neglected or avoided in the field of formal mathematical logic. To the argumentation much attention recently has been paid as a true logic in computer science, in particular artificial intelligence and agent-oriented computing. Argumentation, in a word, is a logic of reasoning in the presence of imperfect information: uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent, by constructing and weighing up arguments, and in the presence of many communicating and interacting autonomous agents. In this talk, I will discuss the following topics: (1) logic vs. argumentation anew, (2) the promises of argumentation in computer science, (3) formal models of argumentation (including our logic of multiple-valued argumentation, and its implementation and diverse applications specifically), (4) research trend toward argumentation and future prospects. Additionally, we touch upon dialectical argumentation, Western and Eastern arguments, computer-supported argument visualization (CSAV) and e-learning for arguments.
