Much research has been devoted to the use of argumentation to support inter-agent dialogues. Here, we contribute to this line of research by investigating the strategic behaviour of agents in argumentation-based dialogues, using Assumption-Based-Argumentation (ABA) as the underlying framework. We will focus on information-seeking and inquiry dialogues, giving formalisations thereof and showing how they can be supported by specific classes of strategy-move functions for agents to select suitable utterances.

Abstract
Much research has been devoted to the use of argumentation to support inter-agent dialogues. Here, we contribute to this line of research by investigating the strategic behaviour of agents in argumentation-based dialogues, using Assumption-Based-Argumentation (ABA) as the underlying framework. We will focus on information-seeking and inquiry dialogues, giving formalisations thereof and showing how they can be supported by specific classes of strategy-move functions for agents to select suitable utterances.
