Abstract:
The application of a new argumentation model is illustrated by reference to DEREK for Windows, a knowledge-based expert system for the prediction of the toxicity of chemicals. Examples demonstrate various aspects of the model such as the undercutting of arguments, the resolution of multiple arguments about the same proposition, and the propagation of arguments along a chain of reasoning.
