Towards a Declarative Approach to Constructing Dialogue Games (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snaith, M., & Wells, S. (2021). Towards a Declarative Approach to Constructing Dialogue Games. In Proceedings of the 21st Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument (9-18)

In this paper we sketch a new approach to the development of dialogue games that builds upon the knowledge gained from several decades of dialogue game research across a variety of communities and which leverages the capabilities of the Dialogue Game...

Information Diffusion in Multi-Agent Communities (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farrenkopf, T., Guckert, M., Urquhart, N., & Wells, S. (2017, June). Information Diffusion in Multi-Agent Communities. Paper presented at 6th World Congress of the International Microsimulation Association, Moncalieri, Italy

Understanding the course of events when newly launched products penetrate a market, and how those products supersede existing dominant products, is crucial. Besides potential applications for business purposes the ability to simulate scenarios to mod... Read More about Information Diffusion in Multi-Agent Communities.

Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., Kelly, T., & Wells, S. (2016). Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments. In Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (47-59). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46218-9_4

Safety cases play a significant role in the development of safety-critical systems. The key components in a safety case are safety arguments, that are designated to demonstrate that the system is acceptably safe. Inappropriate reasoning with safety a...

Large-scale Argument Visualization (LSAV) (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khartabil, D., Wells, S., & Kennedy, J. (2016). Large-scale Argument Visualization (LSAV). In Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis), Posters Track (2016)

Arguments are structures of premises and conclusions that underpin rational reasoning processes. Within complex knowledge domains, especially if they are contentious, argument structures can become large and complex. Visualization tools have been dev...

Demo paper: AGADE - Scalability of ontology based agent simulations (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farrenkopf, T., Guckert, M., Urquhart, N. B., & Wells, S. (2016, June). Demo paper: AGADE - Scalability of ontology based agent simulations. Presented at 14th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Sevilla, Spain

Simulations of real world scenarios often require considerably
large numbers of agents. With increasing level of detail and resolution
in the underlying models machine limitations both in the aspect of
memory and computing power are reached. Even... Read More about Demo paper: AGADE - Scalability of ontology based agent simulations.

Introducing ALIAS (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wells, S., & LaGreca, R. (2015, October). Introducing ALIAS. Paper presented at 15th International Workshop on Computation Models of Natural Argument

ALIAS is a Python library for constructing, manipulating, storing, visualising, and converting argumentation structues. It is available with full source code under a copyleft license and aims to become a Swiss Army Knife for working with arguments in... Read More about Introducing ALIAS.

Wells, S., Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., & Kelly, T. (2015, October). Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments. Paper presented at 15th International Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument(CMNA15), Bertinoro, Italy

Safety cases play a significant role in the development of safety-critical systems. The key components in a safety case are safety arguments, that are designated to demonstrate that the system is acceptably safe. Inappropriate reasoning with safety a...

Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wells, S. (2015, June). Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation. Paper presented at 1st European Conference on Argumentation: Argumentation and Reasoned Action (ECA15)

This paper introduces combinatorial dialogue, a formal approach to strategising within argumentative dialogue games where the moves played within a dialogue game are interpreted as moves within an edge-addition and/or edge-removal combinatorial game....

Argument Mining: Was Ist Das? (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wells, S. (2014). Argument Mining: Was Ist Das?.

Argument Mining has become an increasingly popular term over the last
few years but it is unclear to what exactly the term refers. It definitely refers to an
area of endeavour within argumentation theory and within computational argumentation
and... Read More about Argument Mining: Was Ist Das?.

Using Code Generation to Build a Platform for Developing and Testing Dialogue Games. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., & Wells, S. (2014). Using Code Generation to Build a Platform for Developing and Testing Dialogue Games.

Despite increasing research into their use as a vehicle for Human-
Computer Dialogue and Inter-Agent Communication, Dialogue Games have not
seen good uptake in industry. One of the reasons for this is the lack of methodologies
and tooling for the... Read More about Using Code Generation to Build a Platform for Developing and Testing Dialogue Games..
