<span lang="EN-US" class="">We invite submissions of the latest research results concerning applications and theory of computational argumentation to the 8th Workshop on Advances In Argumentation In Artificial Intelligence (AI³ 2024), that is a track of the

<span lang="EN-US" class="">**Aims and Scope**</span></p>
<p class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;">
<span lang="EN-US" class="">Argumentation is the study of the processes and activities involving the production and exchange of arguments, where arguments are attempts to persuade someone or something by giving reasons for accepting a particular conclusion
as evident. As such, argumentation provides procedures for making and explaining decisions and is able to capture diverse kinds of reasoning and dialogue activities in a formal but still intuitive way, enabling the integration of different specific techniques
and the development of trustable applications.</span></p>
<p class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;">
<span lang="EN-US" class="">For these reasons, over the last two decades formal argumentation has become a major research topic in AI. Several theoretical models at different levels of abstraction have been extensively studied, ranging from purely abstract
models to concrete implemented systems, argumentation solvers have been developed to identify the justification status for arguments according to different semantics, and a variety of applications of argumentation have been proposed for several fields, ranging
from modeling dialogues in social networks to law and medicine.</span></p>
<p class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;">
<span lang="EN-US" class="">Given that the study of argumentation is inherently interdisciplinary, the goal of the workshop, is to stimulate discussions and promote scientific collaboration among researchers not only directly involved in argumentation, but
also from research fields indirectly related to argumentation. In this respect, at least two directions can be envisaged:</span></p>
<p class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;">
<span lang="EN-US" class="">- Cross-fertilization with different fields (including non-monotonic reasoning, logic programming, linguistics, natural language processing, philosophy and psychology, just to mention a few) is needed to update and extend foundations
in Argumentation Theory, as well as tackling a number of open issues that are currently debated in the area.<br class="">
<br class="">
- Inter-disciplinary collaborations are necessary to foster the adoption of argumentation as a viable AI paradigm with a wide range of applications.<br class="">
<br class="">
In Italy, several research groups from different universities and institutions have been involved in argumentation in recent years. One of the aims of the workshop is also to bring together researchers working in argumentation to foster collaboration and
the development of a specific national research community.<br class="">
