      Argumentation for propositional logic and nonmonotonic reasoning 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Toni, F.; Mancarella, P. (CEUR-WS, 2014)
      Argumentation has played a significant role in understanding and unifying under a common framework different forms of defeasible reasoning in AI. Argumentation is also close to the original inception of logic as a framework ...

      Argumentation Logic 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Toni, F.; Mancarella, P. (2014)
      We propose a novel logic-based argumentation framework, called Argumentation Logic (AL), built upon a restriction of classical Propositional Logic (PL) as its underlying logic. This allows us to control the application of ...

      Computational logic foundations of KGP agents 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P.; Sadri, F.; Stathis, Kostas; Toni, F. (2008)
      This paper presents the computational logic foundations of a model of agency called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan) model. This model allows the specification of heterogeneous agents that can interact with each other, ...

      Declarative agent control 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P.; Sadri, F.; Stathis, Kostas; Toni, F. (2005)
      In this work, we extend the architecture of agents (and robots) based upon fixed, one-size-fits-all cycles of operation, by providing a framework of declarative specification of agent control. Control is given in terms of ...

      The KGP model of agency 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P.; Sadri, F.; Stathis, Kostas; Toni, F. (2004)
      This paper presents a new model of agency, called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan) model. This draws from the classic BDI model and proposes a hierarchical agent architecture with a highly modular structure that synthesises ...

      The KGP model of agency for Global Computing: Computational model and prototype implementation 

      Bracciali, A.; Demetriou, Neophytos; Endriss, U.; Kakas, Antonis C.; Lu, W.; Mancarella, P.; Sadri, F.; Stathis, Kostas; Terreni, G.; Toni, F. (2005)
      We present the computational counterpart of the KGP (Knowledge, Goals, Plan) declarative model of agency for Global Computing. In this context, a computational entity is seen as an agent developed using Computational Logic ...

      On Argumentation Logic and Propositional Logic 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P.; Toni, F. (2017)
      This paper studies the relationship between Argumentation Logic (AL), a recently defined logic based on the study of argumentation in AI, and classical Propositional Logic (PL). In particular, it shows that AL and PL are ...

      On the semantics of abstract argumentation 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P. (2013)
      Arguments need to be judged against other arguments. The decision to accept or reject an argument is generally a global decision that involves examining the same question for other arguments that oppose or can defend the ...

      Short note preferred extensions are partial stable models 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P. (1992)
      We show that two recently presented proposals for the semantics of normal logic programs, namely partial stable models of Saccá and Zaniolo and preferred extensions of Phan Minh Dung coincide. © 1992.

      Stable theories for logic programs 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Mancarella, P. (Publ by MIT Press, 1991)
      We define a class of theories associated to any normal logic program, called stable theories, based on a notion of stable negative hypotheses. This stability of hypotheses is motivated directly from the intuitive understanding ...
