Special issue: CMNA coming of age: 18 years of the Computational Models of Natural Argument workshop

摘要

The workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument (CMNA) is the longest standing eventon Argument and Computation. Since its inception in San Francisco in 2001, numerous others havebeen established, dedicated to the various aspects of argumentation and computation, most notably theArgMAS workshops, focusing on Multi-Agent Systems since 2004, the biennial COMMA conferenceseries, focusing on computational models and tools since 2006, the TAFA workshop series, focusing onformal models since 2011, the Argument Mining series, since 2014, and the most recent SAFA series,focusing on systems and algorithms for formal argumentation, since 2016 (see Fig.1).
