Embedding Defeasible Argumentation in Answer Set Programming
2008, September
Important note: The paper contains several errors, yet the bulk is alright and can serve as a source of inspiration to others. The technical part, i.e. the transformation of DeLP to ASP works, however the introductory argumentation frameworks theory contains serious flaws. To be rewritten in the future!
