Some projects that I am involved with:
- A4A – The Architecture 4 Argumentation – A component based architecture for working with dialectical games. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- A4A :: DGDL – The Dialogue Game Description Language, a component of the A4A for describing the rules of diverse dialectical games. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- AIF-DB – The Argument Interchange Format Database. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- Araucaria – Since Glenn’s retirement I have taken over support of Araucaria and am moving towards development of the next major version. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- Argument Blogging – Stems in part from a conversation with Simon Buckingham-Shum a couple of years back. We want to create a system that enables us to link blog posts and comments in terms of their argumentative and dialectical structure. Kind of like trackbacks but with more argumentative structure. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- Implementing Dialectics – My Senior Honours Project in which I created the first implementation of Walton & Krabbe’s PPD0 dialogue game. [STATUS: COMPLETE]
- MAgtALO – MAgtALO is a multiagent server architecture & web 2.0 front-end for effective human participation in complex real world problem domains. The aim was to do elicitation of structured real world knowledge without resorting to performing complex natural language parsing. This knowledge was then reused in agent knowledge bases to enable users positions and opinions to be represented in the system by agents in order to build a self-sustaining system that grows the more it is used. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- Ph.D Thesis :: Formal Dialectical Games In MultiAgent Argumentation – In which I surveyed a wide variety of dialogue games and laid the foundations for the A4A. [STATUS: COMPLETE]
- The Information Exchange (iXchange) Project – A multi-site project to develop multiagent software that incorporates social reasoning, argumentative dialogue, and planning, applied in an eScience scenario. [STATUS: COMPLETE]
- The STAG (Strategy & Tactics in ArGumentation) Project – Preliminary research into the effective use of dialogue games. [STATUS: ONGOING]
- WWAW :: The World Wide Argument Web – A large scale endeavour to build practical support for argumentation practises into the web. [STATUS: ONGOING]
