CMNA 2014: Computational Models of Natural Argument

10 Dec 2014
Krakow, Poland

The 14th workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument, CMNA 2014 
in association with JURIX 2014 10th December 2014 - Krakow - Poland

http://www.cmna.info/CMNA14/

The series of workshops on Computational Models of Natural Argument acts 
to nurture and provide succor to the ever growing community working on 
Argument and Computation, a field developed in recent years overlapping 
Argumentation Theory and Artificial Intelligence.

The workshop focuses on the issue of modelling "natural" argumentation. 
Naturalness may involve the use of means which are more visual than 
linguistic to illustrate a point, such as graphics or multimedia.  Or to 
the use of more sophisticated rhetorical devices, interacting at various 
layers of abstraction.  Or the exploitation of "extra-rational" 
characteristics of the audience, taking into account emotions and 
affective factors.

The workshop encourages submissions in three categories:

? Long papers, either reporting on completed work or offering a polemic discussion on a burning issue (up to 10 pages).
? Short papers describing work in progress (up to 5 pages).
? Demonstration of implemented systems: submissions should be accompanied by written reports (up to 3 pages).

KEY DATES

? Paper submissions (long, short or demos): 31 October 2014
? Notification to authors: 11 November 2014
