Means-end reasoning is modeled as goal-directed argumentation from an agent's goals and known circumstances, and from an action selected as a means, to a decision to carry out the action. Goal-Based Reasoning for Argumentation provides an argumentation model for this kind of reasoning, showing how it is employed in settings of intelligent deliberation where agents try to collectively arrive at a conclusion on what they should do to move forward in a set of circumstances. The book explains how this argumentation model can help build more realistic computational systems of deliberation and decision-making and shows how such systems can be applied to solve problems posed by goal-based reasoning in numerous fields, from social psychology and sociology, to law, political science, anthropology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, and robotics."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Reasoning. 650 0 $a Practical reason. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015046.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826040238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9BD797A6B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
