by Beishui Liao, Thomas ïgotnes, Yi N. Wang

Overview

This volume collects selected papers presented at the Second Chinese Conference on Logic and Argumentation in 2018 held in Hangzhou, China. The papers presented reflect recent advances in logic and argumentation, as well as the connections between the two, and also include invited papers contributed by leading experts in these fields. The book covers a wide variety of topics related to dynamics, uncertainty and reasoning. It continues discussions on the interplay between logic and argumentation which has a long history from Aristotle’s ancient logic to very recent formal argumentation in AI.

Editorial Reviews

This book has depicted a wide prospect concerning with the question of how to reason in a dynamic world with uncertainty. … Therefore, for those who expect to get to know the trends of relevant research directions, this book can provide an overview. Meanwhile, this book may also be helpful to the relevant researchers by offering the recent advances in their fields. … Hence it is a recommendable material for readers who are interested in such topics.” (Z. Yu, Studia Logica, Vol. 111 (1), 2023)
