AIMS AND SCOPE

 Argumentation is an important and exciting research topic in artificial
 intelligence, with a broad spectrum of research activities ranging from
 theory to applications. The International Conference on Computational
 Models of Argument (COMMA) is a regular forum for presentation and
 exchange of the latest research results related to computational aspects
 of argumentation. After the successful editions in Liverpool (2006),
 Toulouse (2008) and Desenzano del Garda (2010), COMMA 2012 will be held
 in Vienna in September 2012.


TOPICS

 Topics include, but are not limited to:

 * Formal and informal models for argumentation
 * Dialogue based on argumentation
 * Strategies in argumentation
 * Argumentation and game theory
 * Computational properties of argumentation
 * Reasoning about action and time with argumentation
 * Decision making based on argumentation
 * Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems
 * Argumentation for coordination and coalition formation
 * Argumentation-based negotiation
 * Argumentation, trust and reputation
 * Argumentation and human-computer interaction
 * Systems for learning through argument
 * Implementation of argumentation systems
 * Tools for supporting argumentation
 * Applications (e.g. e-democracy, risk assessment, law and medicine)


IMPORTANT DATES

 Submission deadline:                  March 26, 2012
 Notification of acceptance:           May 23, 2012
 Final version of accepted papers:     June 20, 2012


PROCEEDINGS

 The proceedings for the conference will be published by IOS Press in
 the "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications" series. The
 length of each submission should not exceed 12 pages. Authors should
