{"product_id":"9781316394106","title":"Goal-based Reasoning for Argumentation","description":"This book provides an argumentation model for means end-reasoning, a distinctive type of reasoning used for problem-solving and decision-making. Means end-reasoning is modelled 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 of 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.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133590323440,"sku":"9781316394106","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316394106_p0.jpg?v=1763707332","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316394106","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
