Structured argumentation in particular can model domain specific knowledge and argumentation schemes. However, despite these practical components, there is...

A conceptual presentation about implementing formal argumentation in Haskell, a functional programming language

Abstract:  Theoretical and practical research complement each other, and their synergy is essential to developing advanced information systems. I will illustrate this using examples from my research in ontology languages, reasoning, and big data management. I will also discuss how we can foster interest in combining theory and practice in...
