Abstract:
An approach to argumentation attempts to model the partner's evaluative criteria, and by attempting to work with it rather than against it. To this end, the utterances generated aim to influence the partner to believe what we believe to be in his best interestsâ¿¿ although it may not be in fact. The utterances aim to convey what is so, and not to point out â¿¿where the partner is wrongâ¿ . This behaviour is intended to lead to the development of lasting relationships between agents.
