Towards a Declarative Approach to Constructing Dialogue Games
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snaith, M., & Wells, S. (2021, September). Towards a Declarative Approach to Constructing Dialogue Games. Presented at CMNA’21: Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument, Online

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...

Monkeypuzzle: Towards Next Generation, Free & Open-Source, Argument Analysis Tools
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Douglas, J., & Wells, S. (2017, June). Monkeypuzzle: Towards Next Generation, Free & Open-Source, Argument Analysis Tools. Paper presented at The 17th International Workshop on Computation Models of Natural Argument (CMNA17)

We introduce a new, free, open-source, web-based argument analysis tool called Monkeypuzzle. This is designed to provide both a foundation for creating and visualising reproducible argument analyses as well as a flexible framework for investigating n...

Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., Kelly, T., & Wells, S. (2015, October). Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments. 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...

Using Code Generation to Build a Platform for Developing and Testing Dialogue Games.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., & Wells, S. (2014, December). Using Code Generation to Build a Platform for Developing and Testing Dialogue Games. Presented at Computational Models of Natural Argument (CMNA14),

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..

Argument Mining: Was Ist Das?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wells, S. (2014, December). Argument Mining: Was Ist Das?. Presented at Computational Models of Natural Argument (CMNA14),

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?.

Towards using Segmentation-based Techniques to Personalize Mobility Behavior Interventions
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Forbes, P. J., Gabrielli, S., Maimone, R., Masthoff, J., Wells, S., & Jylha, A. (2014, November). Towards using Segmentation-based Techniques to Personalize Mobility Behavior Interventions

This paper describes our initial work towards a segmentation-based approach to personalized digital behavior change interventions in the domain of sustainable, multi-modal urban transport. Segmentation is a key concept in market research, and within... Read More about Towards using Segmentation-based Techniques to Personalize Mobility Behavior Interventions.

Demo paper: AGADE - Scalability of ontology based agent simulations
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.

Large-scale Argument Visualization (LSAV)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khartabil, D., Wells, S., & Kennedy, J. (2016, June). Large-scale Argument Visualization (LSAV). Presented at 18th EG/VGTC Conference on Visualization

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...
